Maison Serein

2026Design and build

Maison Serein is an events house in Antwerp that stages corporate evenings, galas and private celebrations. The site is one long page: the founder, the services, a gala and the house venue in a bank vault from 1904. The gala is told by the clock, from doors at 18:30 to the last candle at 00:40, so you see how an evening is run before you ask about one. Enquiries go through a two-step form that opens as a drawer.
