"Architecture from the Soul“
by Anniversary Team on anniversary-magazine.com
Located within eight old silos converted into apartments by Axel Vervoordt Real Estate, Silo Apartment is one of the latest projects designed by Arjaan De Feyter in Antwerp.Taking advantage of the constraint generated by the circular form of the building, De Feyter conceived a home where the residents can live in a natural flow. The designer only added two walls in the space and the interventions were kept minimal so it would not impair the aura of the original site.
“The infinite character of the circle can give you a restless or confused feeling. That’s why it was important to integrate the right visual pauses.”
“We kept on puzzling, abstracting, and trying to find the right balance between functionality, space and concept. We just kept on questioning ourselves.”
