This group of 4 apartment buildings in the heart of Antwerp each have their own identity. In total there are 5 ground floor housing units, 72 apartments and 4 commercial spaces. All apartments are designed following the passive house standards. Building next to the Docks of the Schelde implies a high groundwater level.
