Classic townhouse with a modern ambition

This historic townhouse in the heart of Antwerp was transformed into a contemporary home. To ensure the house met all new standards, a lavish renovation was necessary. While preserving the authentic structure and characteristic elements such as the elegant fireplace, this house was modernized with great care and precision. The result? A characterful design without monotony.

    Open connection

    The tall double-glazed windows along with the open connection between different floors in the rear of this townhouse provide more light and air. For this special structure, we chose a suitable interior architecture.


    The wood structures of the floor and stairs are repeated in other parts of the house, to which the further furnishing was adapted. In the living room, we created an L-shaped sitting area with a custom-made coffee table in the center. This is combined with a high-pile wool carpet from the Belgian JoV, which adds coziness.

    Sparkling atmosphere

    Adjacent to the kitchen island, we chose a custom-made Contrario dining table in light wood and 6 light grey upholstered Lema Bea chairs. Again, the colors complement each other perfectly for a fresh look.


    In the bedroom, we also ensured a bright redesign. The headboard was meticulously upholstered to measure with a self-chosen fabric. Below lies a large round and woolly JoV Chloe carpet finished with Lyocell yarn that adds extra shine. Round Kelly nightstands from the Italian Poliform complete the room. This was designed to create a sparkling atmosphere.
