Constructed in neo-classical style, this 1926 interbellum house is part of the protected historic ‘Miljoenenkwartier’ quarter, that was shaped by the World Expo in Ghent.
As the building was fairly well preserved and still holds a lot of its original charm, our main ambition was to respect the most valuable authentic building elements, whilst thoroughly reshaping the building into a modern multi-family house.
The project benefits from the unique historic architectural qualities, adding a modern and sustainable touch to the existing building. We managed to create a high-end residency, composed of three separate housing units: two fully accessible one-bedroom apartments on the top floors, and a luxurious duplex home on the lowest floors, consisting of luminous bel-étage living quarters and a master bedroom, opening onto the garden.
