The connection of two apartments created the opportunity to make a 32-meter-long loft with a unique panoramic view on the Antwerp Scheldt Quays. The starting point for the interior renovation was an experiment in contemporary living. The result is a powerful, contemporary statement, entering a dialogue with the distinctive view over the Scheldt and its banks.

The kitchen serves as a connecting bar between the living and dining room. The use of mirror glass in the wine cabinet ensures the connection with the river while cooking. The references to the Scheldt find their way to the rest of the interior design: With the right light, the Evolin natural stone flooring seems to extend the river right into the loft. The wavy pattern on the cabinet is also a link to the waves of the river, and separates the day from the night area. These waves can also be found in the bespoke door knobs for the cabinets, which are also designed by our B BRAND studio. Last but not least, the floating cabinets behind the kitchen are made from an innovative quartz veneer with the same sparkles as those on the river.

Dark and intimate materials were used. The black texture painting on the walls and ceilings creates a bold, yet intimate atmosphere. The fully glazed façade makes this choice possible. This combined with the carefully developed lighting plan, creates a unique atmosphere at night that reminds to an exclusive club or cocktail bar. The two large 98” screens in the living and dining room enforce the cosmopolitan character of the loft.  

The tailor made B BRAND furniture in this project finishes it off. In the dining and living room a bespoke version of the CROSS table was placed, finished in black stained wood and green anodized legs. Our SHARDS and two prototypes of the STACK stool serve a multifunctional purpose around the kitchen bar. 

The pentagonal floor plan provided the necessary creativity during the design process. The result is an interesting balance between the intimacy of the central core and the panoramic rooms with their view of the Northsea outside.

A timeless ambiance was at the basis for the interior design. Discrete materials set the tone in the living area. Sand-colored finishes were used for wall, ceiling and floor cladding in the spaces facing the the sea. The Evolin natural stone was used for the central core which contains the dining room, kitchen and bathroom.

This flooring, placed in irregular bond, creates a darker accent and refers to the colours of the North Sea. By adding a dark ceiling and wall cabinets in grey-green oak, the dining room turns into an intimate shelter in the center of the place. By taking a closer look, you’ll notice the tough and rebel elements that are typical of our B BRAND signature. For example the steel staircase and door handles that are finished with the unique Corbeau Patina. The Pyramid natural stone for the sink and countertops, combines perfectly with the natural oak that is used for the tailor-made furniture and flooring.

The bathroom is at the center of the space. The smart privacy glass makes it possible to transform the panoramic bathroom into an intimate wellness. A serene and sober ambiance was created in the bedrooms. The two guest rooms with attached bathroom are conceived as hotel suites which makes the feeling of luxury complete.

We also got the opportunity to integrate our furniture in this project. The dining room features our CROSS TABLE. Its tree steel legs are also treated with the same Corbeau finish as the rest of the steelwork. Our FIVE TABLE – which serves as a desk – is tailor-made and follows the shape of the floorplan.
