2023 מאי 133 אורח העונה - סטודיו אוקאמי, בלגיה אדריכלות ישראלית 73 | | | Renovated duplex apartment at Riverside Tower, Antwerp During the 1970's, Antwerp was considered an old and dirty city, with new construction focused mainly on the industrial area near the port. Naturally, the living spaces were facing the sea, while bedrooms were directed to the east, to anable awakening naturally with the morning sunlight. Designed by Leon Stynen & Paul De Meyer in the early 70's, the Riverside Tower is a high-rise development beautifully situated on the bend of the river Scheldt, not far from the city center. Bram Van Cauter, first became familiar with this high-rise during his internship, managing to purchase two duplex apartments only 10 years later, when Studio Okami was better established. Redesigned for a couple without childred, the aim in this apartment was to make use of the location of the three separate bedrooms by placing a "greenhouse" made of glass and steel-frame. This allows natural light to penetrate the entire apartment while affording a spectacular view of the city.
