Apartment in Hulst

This apartment forms an integral part of a large-scale renovation and redevelopment project in Hulst, in which an existing building has been fully transformed into multiple high-quality apartments. Although all homes within the project are technically comparable, each apartment has been given its own distinct character. For this apartment, the emphasis was placed on spaciousness, natural light, and a pronounced modern aesthetic with luxurious accents.

Initial Situation and Renovation Vision

Originally, the space was not designed as a self-contained residence and did not meet contemporary living and comfort standards. It lacked a logical layout, modern installations, and high-quality finishes. The objective of this renovation was to transform a bare, undefined space into a fully functional apartment that would appeal to the higher rental or sales market. To achieve this, an open living concept was chosen, with strong visual lines and a clear separation between living and private areas.

Structural Adjustments and New Layout

The works began with significant internal modifications. Load-bearing and non-load-bearing elements were adjusted where necessary to achieve an efficient floor plan. The new layout creates a natural flow between the living room, kitchen, and sleeping area, while height differences and roof lines were deliberately used to add dynamism to the interior. The mezzanine and balustrade enhance the sense of space and allow additional daylight to enter the living areas.

Technical Installations and Comfort

All technical systems were completely renewed. The electrical installation was redesigned in accordance with current regulations, with careful attention to both functional and ambient lighting. Ventilation and sanitary installations were also fully replaced, contributing to a healthy indoor climate and long-term living comfort. Heating systems and connection points were strategically positioned to keep the interior free of visually disruptive elements.

Finishes and Interior Details

The finishes of Apartment 3 were executed to a high standard. The herringbone parquet floor creates a warm contrast with the clean, light-finished walls and ceilings. The custom-made kitchen fits seamlessly beneath the sloping roof structure and features dark cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a natural stone worktop as a striking focal point.

In the bathroom, a calm and luxurious atmosphere was created using large-format tiles, a floating wooden vanity, and indirect lighting around the mirror. Every detail was carefully coordinated to achieve a harmonious and timeless interior.

Planning, Investment, and Final Result

The complete internal renovation of Apartment 3 was completed within a period of three months. The total investment amounted to €280,000, including all materials. Thanks to tight scheduling, clear communication, and centralized project management, the project was completed without delays.

The final result is an exclusive, move-in-ready apartment where architecture, comfort, and finishing come together seamlessly. Apartment 3 in Hulst illustrates how Grand Renovation translates complex renovation challenges into high-quality residential solutions with clear long-term added value.
