About Mozart

In Antwerp’s heart, a grand 19th-century townhouse undergoes a transformative renovation. Challenges arise from its central location and the high dividing wall limiting sunlight. Yet, designers seek elegant solutions to preserve its regal charm.

Harnessing Sunlight: Innovative Design Choices

Strategically, the rear building makes way for a tall, new annex. They’ve snipped its corner, prioritizing sunlight and elegance. Thus, sunlight now permeates the townhouse effortlessly.

Multilevel Living: A Modern Approach

Living and home office spaces span two levels. These areas boast varied viewpoints, ensuring ample light flow. Furthermore, terraces nestle on various levels, catering to every time of day.

Enhancing Outdoor Spaces

A royal outside staircase enhances the modest garden, offering a sense of space and luxury.
