Description

In the charming Sint-Jozefstraat, between Mechelsesteenweg, with its growing number of antique and vintage shops, and Lange Leemstraat. Close to tram, train, parks, Sint-Lucas art school and facilities.

In 2005, design guru Michel Marcy transformed this old theatre into a stunning exhibition space and design gallery. Here he stores, displays and restores his unique collection of vintage furniture. The result: a gem of a studio with a simple yet very stylish shop window.

The property consists of several interconnecting parts, each with its own character. The front section – 60 m² – is ideal for use as a shop, office or exhibition space. At the rear, the space opens up into an impressive, loft-like area with skylights. Concrete floors throughout, a choice that perfectly matches the industrial yet warm appearance of the building.

The extra floor with its spectacular void creates even more light, space and openness. An elegant spiral staircase (Willy Van Der Meeren) leads upstairs. The goods lift, cleverly hidden behind the accordion door, allows you to bring large items from the basement to the floor.

The property has a concrete basement (170 m²) with clever windows for natural daylight. This is where work, welding and restoration take place. With 170 m² on the ground floor and another 120 m² on the first floor in a prime location in Antwerp, this is a place to make your wildest dreams come true. In 2024, 17 solar panels were added.

owner speaks out

For me, this is so much more than “just” a shop. It's my whole life. I consider this place my private loft, where I can spend day in, day out doing what I love most: design and furniture. The light, the spaces, the atmosphere... This is a real gem.
