The refurbishment of this former warehouse, first build in the 1920’s, has been completed in 2008 by Architectslab.
The complete building contains two office spaces, ten lofts and three apartments. The reason for this variety in functions finds its origine in the original lay out of the complex.

At the Ulensstreet, the front of the project, the townhouse gives aces to all inhabitants via a semi-open gate which shows the path running through the public courtyards towards the other streetside, the Vanderstichelenstreet, which houses the entrance of the parkingspace for the inhabitants.

The townhouse was transformed into three apartments. In the centre, between the two courtyards, a second block gives room to the office spaces and four lofts. The latter block at the Vanderstichelenstreet contains another six lofts and communal roofterrace.
 

The date of construction has definitely had its influence on the style elements used in the project. A mixture of Art Deco and Modernistic details were found throughout the townhouse and warehouses.  These were welcome influences in designing the additional and new spaces for the project.
The usage of materials, colorpallet, lighting etc were all chosen in function of the already present elements. This way new and old not only co-exist but are compatible in the most positive way.
