Site Apostolinnen

In the middle of the site is the Somerhuys from the 17^th century located. According to the research, this building only used the sun as a heat source. Now all the windows are still facing the south. The house has been restored and is now used as a private home. As an extension of the central Somerhuys, the worker’s house from the 20^th century is situated at the Tesssestraat. This building is now a guest house in the private garden of the Somerhuys. Behind the Somerhuys is a Warehouse from the 18^th century situated, which was a part of the convent of the Apostolins. The building is now divided into 8 studios for students.

In the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwestraat there are two 19^th century buildings with commercial spaces on the ground floor. Six residential units have been installed behind and above the shops, including a new building with two triplex houses. The new building serves as a catalyst for the entire site: it is a brick monolith with external staircases that, in combination with the alleys and the patios, ensure new circulation on the site. Next to the new building there is restored bay window house from the 18^th century, which also houses a triplex house.
