Description

Unique and all-encompassing property comprising a beautiful penthouse (approximately 440m2), spacious offices (approximately 736m2), and adjacent land on which - subject to planning permission - another project can be put.

At this dream location right on 't Zuid, you are surrounded by numerous galleries and design shops, cultural hotspots such as the Fotomuseum and MUHKA and an abundance of hip and trendy catering establishments. Bordered by the Scheldt river on one side and the historic centre on the other. Close to approach roads, water bus, pedestrian tunnel and public transport.

Penthouse:
The top two floors of the historic 1899 warehouse are home to renowned and internationally lauded architect Jo Crepain (1950-2008). A magnificent, brutalist penthouse with unrivalled views of the Scheldt and city.

The 4th and top floor was added to the building when it was renovated in 1997 and contains the living areas with a fully equipped kitchen and an immense living room with 4-metre-high ceilings. Sublime customisation at the hand of good friend the late Maarten Van Severen.

The stunning terrace is bordered by a green roof and a seamless glass balustrade, giving you an endless panoramic depth view and true garden feel overlooking the Scheldt.

3-4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are located on the 3rd floor. The central area serves as a creative space: ideal for exhibitions, vernissages, etc.

Finally, 2 garages on the glvl, several cellars and a lift to reach all floors. For lovers of art and architecture pur sang.

Offices:
The offices were the base of operations for the architect duo Jo Crepain and Luc Binst. Brainstorms, genius ideas, nights out... This is where it all happened. Both architectural masters remain inextricably linked to this iconic spot.

A stylish reception area, several meeting rooms, large workspaces for open-plan working, a kitchen with an inspiring lunch area and several separate washrooms are spread over 3 floors of the building.

Optionally, these building floors - subject to planning permission - can also be converted into residential units.

Land:
The land next to the offices and penthouse now offer space for 6 cars and can be developed - subject to planning permission - into a unique project with floating terraces.

Daughter, Britt, recounts:
I had already left home when my parents moved in, but I vividly remember that they threw many legendary parties here.

Luc Binst:
When you work in a building for 20 years, there are bound to be countless legendary moments - and that certainly applies to when we had our offices here. Our vision of one happy family, strong together as one
