House of co

When we first stepped into the building on Oudesteenweg, we saw more than 600m² of walls and rooms, a calm home base for people starting a new chapter in the city. After a careful renovation, the house opened in September 2025 as a collection of twelve spacious studios, each with its own bathroom and kitchenette, so every resident has real privacy and independence, not just a bed in a corner.

Around those private studios, we designed shared living spaces that make everyday life softer and more social: a fully equipped bright and spacious kitchen where Sunday pancakes somehow taste better, a coworking space where people work during the day, a cosy lounge, cinema and a garden for quiet coffee breaks. Cleaning, utilities, Wi-Fi and all the practical things are taken care of so residents can focus on work, study and actually enjoying Antwerp.

The community at The Old Brick is mostly made up of international expats and young professionals who value comfort, good design and meaningful connection. It is the kind of house where you can come home from the station, drop your bag in your own studio and then decide whether you want to join a chat in the kitchen, answer a few last emails at the shared workspace or simply close your door and recharge. That balance between “my place” and “our home” is exactly what House of co stands for.

If you are looking for a place that feels more than home, The Old Brick might be your spot, a warm, thoughtfully designed coliving community just a short walk from Antwerp Central.
