Bespoke roof hatches

It is a dream: living in a beautiful historic building in the heart of Antwerp, and at the same time being able to enjoy peace and quiet and space in a roof garden. This project named “Bolonia la Grassa” is located directly behind the Meir in Lange Nieuwstraat. It is serenely hidden behind two stepped gables from the 16th century. Electric Hatches, made to measure, give access to the roof terrace.

City garden in Antwerp

A number of apartments also have their own city garden: an oasis, while you are only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle. Accessible by means of a hinged access rooflight, the Skydoor, that was tailor-made for each terrace. Due to the sleek lineation and the Sky Only View, the roof access hatch fits into the surroundings and contributes to the architectural stylistic elements. In addition, the roof access hatch also provides the inside with a lot of daylight and fresh air, which is a benefit to a healthy living environment

Enjoy the history

Enjoy the luxury and historic look from within your own home. Having a drink from the terrace in the evening sun. The historic building has been renovated and urban villas and apartments have been built in it. The property’s history goes way back, when Antwerp was a trading city of note in the 14th century. The exotic name “Bolonia la Grassa” was given to the property in 1568, after the city of Bologna with its culinary delights (la Grassa means “the fat one”). It was inhabited by Spanish and Italian noblemen until the 17th century.
