建筑的后面是一个从街上看不见的空间 ， 形成了一个L形的平面 ， 建筑师决定在新建建筑的部分布置服务空间 ， 并使原始结构成为一个“纯粹的”酒店空间 。 建筑的两个部分共同占地103平方米 。

They decided to turn it into a place to stay on future visits to Antwerp and also capitalise on the property’s location near to the city's \"cultural axis\" between the ancient Grote Markt square in the centre and the MAS Museum designed by Neutelings Riedijk Architects.

A much later addition behind the house and invisible from the street created an l-shaped plan so the architects decided to locate all the services in the newer part of the building and make the original structure a \"pure\" hotel space. Together the two parts of the house share 103 square metres of floor space.

“最初 ， 我担心将一个小型历史建筑改造成一个豪华的‘一间房间’酒店而不涉及历史元素的可行性 。 ”DMVA联合创始人Tom Verschueren告诉Dezeen记者 。
