Sustainable enjoyment
Although our building is more than 140 years old, it is completely future-proof. It even meets the strict energy standards imposed on new-build homes. And that is quite special for a building with this history. We do not use gas and all rooms are optimally insulated, both in terms of sound and climate control.
