‘t Stad Leest

Stad Leest is an independent bookstore located at Oudaan eighteen in the center of Antwerp. The shop occupies a space that was once an old hospital ward, which was later divided into office units before being renovated into its current form in two thousand twenty. A defining architectural feature of the site is the long, sloped concrete pathway designed to connect the street to the interior, guiding visitors into the bookstore through a sequence of light.
