Centre Ghent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Finding peace in the middle of town. This one-bedroom apartment is designed by Tatsuro Miki, fixed partner of Axel Vervoordt. Architecture, materiality and simplicity together form a place of silence and beauty. It is located in the former coach house of a stately corner house, once the Old Youth Court of Ghent. Discreetly located in the city centre, near the Kouter, the Saint Baafs Square and the historical axis of the city. Rarely a location falls so quietly and so centrally together. You enter the apartment along the side of the building, hidden behind the street facade. The entrance hall with guest toilet opens to spaces that flow softly into each other. A first room, surrounded by custom cabinets, serves as a dining area, desk or living area. Behind that is the living room under original vaults. A rest point in stone. In the front, the kitchen joins the interior. Further on follow a high-quality bathroom and a bedroom with custom dressing. Compact, serene, thought to the details. A green outdoor space of 40 m2 forms the extension of the apartment. The many windows bring light, reflection and rest together. Not a standard ground floor apartment, but a place where wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection, becomes tangible in every detail. For those looking for a home or pied-à-terre, they breathe peace, in the middle of the city centre.
