Interior architect Arjaan De Feyter has completed the renovation of an apartment built across four old silos in a former malting distillery in Belgium.
Located just outside Antwerp, the canal-side silo building is part of a former malting distillery that has been regenerated by by Axel Vervoordt Real Estate.

Belonging to a couple with grown-up children, the 200-metre-square, third-floor apartment is arranged across four of the cellular concrete tubes where the distillery's grain used to be stored.
Connected by short corridors, one of the four tubes was converted into a square by the developers to create one space with straight walls within the apartment.

De Feyter embraced the building's circular room layouts created by the tubes, inserting just two straight walls to create what he refers to as "visual pauses". Upon entering the apartment, visitors walk through the first silo, where one of the inserted walls divides the space into a hallway, study and bathroom.

The hallway leads through to the circular living room located in the second silo, where linen curtains that encircles the centre of the space acts as an acoustic room divider while also creating privacy.
An open-plan kitchen and dining area that overlooks the canal occupies the square silo.
