Nestled in the historic neighbourhood of Antwerp South, a residence once ravaged by fire and water now stands as a testament to resilience and architectural revival. This transformation is the latest venture of Maison Osaïn, who have made it their hallmark to reimagine and restore aged properties with an unparalleled flair for innovation.

House Sur is designed to be more than just a dwelling; it aims to be a personal sanctuary that transcends mere physical existence. This philosophy is a cornerstone of Maison Osaïn’s approach to renovation, delivering homes that align with the owner’s health, well-being, and overall happiness, and embodying meticulous care for history coupled with a keen sense for authenticity.

When Maison Osaïn first encountered the building that would later be christened House Sur, it was far from the peaceful haven it is today. Partially burnt down and marked by significant water damage, the structure was compromised by decay, necessitating a complete rebuild from the ground up.

Today, House Sur is a coveted retreat amidst the bustling city life of Antwerp South. The redesign of the house cleverly utilizes its south-facing windows that span three stories, enhancing the natural light and offering expansive views of the garden. This design feature not only maximizes spatial perception but also contributes significantly to the overall ambiance of tranquillity that defines the residence.

On the ground floor, the kitchen is bathed in light from these expansive windows. It is fully equipped with state-of-the-art contemporary appliances, including a wine cooler, and is finished in richly-grained wood and natural stone, creating an ambiance of rustic sophistication. Adjacent to this culinary haven, the cozy living and dining room areas boast double-height ceilings, enhancing the sense of openness and airiness, making them perfect for relaxation and social gatherings.

Upstairs, the fully-fitted bathroom with a bath exudes geometric elegance, offering a luxurious yet serene retreat. Higher up, the master bathroom transforms the experience with a ceiling opened right up to the roof, showcasing bespoke furniture and furnishings alongside a tactile wall finish, enhancing the sensory richness of the space.

House Sur stands as a paragon of blending authenticity with modernity. It is fully furnished and showcases exclusive collaborations with renowned artists, ensuring that each element within the home is both unique and exquisite. The finishings within House Sur are meticulously crafted from premium materials, embodying sustainability and elegance. This includes eco-friendly features like a state-of-the-art ventilation system, complemented by surfaces of natural stone and attractively grained wood. Additionally, each space is refined with high-grade lime paint, ensuring a finish that is both environmentally responsible and visually stunning. The carefully selected serene colour palette imbues the interiors with a tranquil ambiance, welcoming all who enter. Positioned in the heart of Antwerp, its prime location further secures its status as a highly coveted address.

Maison Osaïn’s commitment to reviving spaces with integrity and a deep respect for natural elements shines brightly in House Sur, a project that is destined to be a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city, where the legacy of the past meets the innovation of the future.
