Description

Boho doesn't get any cooler than this. This 1901 dairy factory was converted into quirky and unique living units. Picnicking on Kruger Square, a pint at Bar Leon, going to Roma, shopping in the heart of the city or just out of town.... There is always something going on in this vibrant neighbourhood.

You will be surprised when you close the green gate of this artistic building behind you. Here you step into another world, the quiet, green backstage of the city. Moreover, you can park next door.

Architect Ludo Hermans (urban designer Tilburg) turned the industrial spaces into 2 connected dwellings by means of an imposing metal bridge, stone and concrete combined with glass sections, durable parquet flooring and lots of wall cabinets.

On the 1st floor: 2 residential units, currently connected to form a continuous square but also perfectly separable from each other again, each with separate front door, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and private terrace (also separate KI).

In the exceptional downstairs area (90 m2): bar, kitchenette, toilet and giga storage cupboards. Atelier, meeting room, party spot, photo studio, rehearsal room and even badminton court.... Multifunctional is an understatement! A dream setting where book performances, try-outs, party dinners and parties have already been organised. Creatives, self-employed, co-housers, as offices or fashion agencies... Here, the sky is the limit - a place you must visit to understand the magic.

Purchase car space @ 35,000€.

Übercoole loft met uitzonderlijke multifunctionele ruimte
The exceptional downstairs space has already been used for the craziest things - from studio to rehearsal space to party venue and even as a badminton court!

owner speaks out

After first working there for 10 years, we bought part of the Warehouse complex in 2000. The look and unique atmosphere of the whole and the surprising entities immediately appealed to us, and that feeling has never gone away. When the large green gate on the street side closes, you really enter an island of space, security and creativity.

Architect Ludo Hermans really did a great job connecting all the living spaces - a concept that still works for us. We still come home every day feeling wowed in this sea of space where we can live and work freely. The exceptional downstairs space has already been used for the craziest things - from studio to rehearsal space to party venue and even as a badminton court!

The twenty neighbours of the complex form a warm community with respect for each other, the building and everyone's privacy. The most fun is when a spontaneous aperitif moment in the evening sun in the courtyard or a winter drink around some gathered fire pits occurs. Yes... Paradise exists!
