1-bed apartment, Antwerp

Within Residence Léon S., a remarkable design by Léon Stynen and Paul De Meyer, lies this exceptional corner apartment with a distinctive loft character. Expansive windows on several sides flood the interior with daylight, creating a fascinating dialogue between architecture, interior and city. Originally designed as a one-bedroom apartment, the property was later transformed by removing its internal walls to create one generous open living space. For those preferring a separate bedroom, the original layout can be reinstated by adding new partition walls. The apartment therefore combines the freedom of loft living with the flexibility of a more conventional residential plan. The open kitchen with gas cooker integrates naturally into the living area. Underfloor heating preserves the clean lines along the glazing, while numerous floor connections allow furniture and lighting to be positioned freely throughout the space. Integrated storage runs beneath the windows, while ingenious, discreetly concealed storage has even been incorporated into the ceiling. A separate storage room and spacious cellar complete the property. Its clear structure, generous glazing and open plan make the architectural vision of Stynen and De Meyer tangible throughout. A rare apartment for admirers of Belgian modernism, design, natural light, generous space and architectural freedom.
