Waking up wealthy in the former Lynen bank/office building
In 1875, Victor Lynen, a wealthy grain merchant and art collector, commissioned an office building in neoclassical style. It long served as a bank, with the top floor and the spaces beneath the roof functioning as archives and storage. During the building's conversion into residential lofts, the original volumes, structural trusses, and generous ceiling heights of its former office and archival purpose were preserved in their entirety—the new gold standard for city-centre loft living. The layout of this second-floor loft unfolds as a single open-plan space spanning no less than 14 metres in length. It is wide enough to accommodate a comfortable sitting area, a dining table seating ten or more, and even a drum kit. A mezzanine above the kitchen creates space for a bedroom complete with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, featuring a bath, a separate shower, a second toilet, and a washbasin. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a practical utility room for coats, shoes, and technical installations. On the ground floor, the building provides every amenity for contemporary urban living: a private cellar, secure bicycle storage, and even a former bank vault (the ideal home for a high-end Pinarello Dogma road bike). An indoor parking space is also available to rent as an option.
