THE APARTMENT 02
THE APARTMENT Graanmarkt 13 is created as a welcoming and warm home, where everyone should feel at ease, with a restaurant, a shop, and an apartment all under one roof. The remarkable concept occupies an entire townhouse in the center of Antwerp, with the traditional building being reworked by Vincent Van Duysen, one of Belgian s best architects. In the past years owners Tim Van Geloven and Ilse Cornelissens turned Graanmarkt 13 into a household name, but wisely kept one secret to themselves. The initial idea was also to include a bed & breakfast on the top floors. But plans changed when Tim & Ilse saw the plans developing and decided to turn all available space into one luxurious apartment. Described as their best kept secret, the apartment is now available for rent. THE APARTMENT 03

STYLISH HOME AWAY FROM HOME When entering the duplex apartment, you feel at home, a stylish home that is. Apart from the protected historic facade, Van Duysen s signature style of brutalism, softened by natural materials, runs like a red thread throughout the building. Tim & Ilse used two floors as their private quarters and although they are gone, you can sense their presence in the smallest details. We just packed our clothes and left, Ilse argues. When she and Tim started their project, they both wanted to be on top of it, literally. But the project has grown, so have their children and now the family is moving into a family home with a garden. Tim adds: I m going to miss the terrace and the panoramic view on the city. And although you re at the heart of the city, it s very calm, green and quiet out here. Graanmarkt 13 is located in the middle of the city, on a picturesque square where trees reveal the passing of the seasons. At the back of a building there s an old ginkgo tree overlooking the rooftop garden and beehives, providing herbs and honey that chef Seppe Nobels uses in his dishes in the restaurant, which is located in the cellar.

INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICE Tim and Ilse like to think of their apartment as your stylish home away from home where your personal privacy is respected. The apartment comes with hotel service, but it s also a place where you can enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere. To this end, they believe in an individualized and special service by ensuring that breakfast with local products is brought to the apartment every morning and that the space is out-fitted with a full fridge and equipped kitchen allowing their guests to cook their own meals or head down to the restaurant. Hospitality is at the core of Graanmarkt 13, with the apartment being ideal for families traveling with children. It s our job to make sure everyone has a fantastic time and therefore we offer complimentary services, according to Tim. If you are looking for a luxury apartment located in an authentic Antwerp neighbourhood. And, if you appreciate stylish comfort, space, privacy, first-class amenities and an individualized service, Tim & Ilse are more than happy to accommodate you. THE APARTMENT 07
