about

A mixed-use building, hosting an exhibition space, a café, an event venue, and AIM Architecture’s creative offices.

AIM Architecture, a design firm with a presence in Shanghai, Chicago, and now Antwerp, has revitalized 12 - a registered Art Nouveau gem located at Kattendijkdok Oostkaai 12. Through this regeneration project, AIM EU showcases that even subtle interventions can yield profound impacts on spaces and their surroundings. The renewed space not only preserves the building’s historic beauty but also establishes itself as a creative and cultural hub, aiming to bridge Eastern and Western influences.

12’s purpose is to bridge cultures through design, art, events, and community engagement. We envision blending cultures, sparking creativity, and leaving an imprint on urban landscapes. Our mission is to surround ourselves with passionate and creative minds eager to make positive impacts on the cityscape with us.
