Two connecting apartments in Antwerp’s city centre affirm
Dries De Malsche is a Belgian interior designer based in the city of Sint-Niklaas, southwest of Antwerp, whose investment in art, design and craftsmanship culminates in a portfolio of unordained yet exceptionally detailed interiors. The designer’s latest pursuit takes the form of two connecting apartments in the city centre of Antwerp belonging to a pair of tight-knit siblings; City Apartment FG and City Apartment AG. While both apartments revolve around a calm and fluent design scheme, subtle material and tonal variations ensure they stand out from each other.
Dries approached each apartment with the specific sibling in mind, leading to spaces that reflect their commonalities and differences. FG, for example, features warm shades of pink, mixed in with brushed travertine and dark-coloured oak, while AG features cool shades of blue, mixed in with a more outspoken marble and natural-coloured oak, uniform yet beautifully nuanced.
