Keyserrijck
The listed building has the exceptional quality that its volume and appearance have remained largely unchanged since 1596 (as shown on the Bononiensis map). The façades have therefore been carefully restored. The internal timber floor structures were also largely preserved and revealed again. The entire building has been equipped with energy-efficient systems.
The ambition for the project was to breathe new life into the house and provide a home for several young residents, each with a compact apartment but sharing a communal courtyard and bicycle/waste storage. Where possible, a small terrace was added to the individual units.
The entire ground floor is designed as a multifunctional commercial space, the upper floors contain compact apartments, and the attic level houses a studio space.
Keyserrijck was selected for Het Schoonste Gebouw van Antwerpen 2015.
