APARTMENT MH  photos Van de Velde Tim
In the heart of Brussels, in an old factory with residence, this apartment with loft en art deco allures lies hidden. You enter an oasis of calm. As of 1923, Pyrex, known for its heatproof dishes, produced glass pipettes and Erlenmeyers. In the forties, the company moved to the United States and the large warehouses were then used to store fruit and vegetables until 2002. Then the factory buildings made room for ten lofts. In the former residence of the factory owners, a stately town house at the front of the complex, three more apartments were made. The residents form a heterogeneous mix. Young families, couples and singles, Belgians and foreigners have found their way here.
