Het Reihof
The most innovative retirement residence in West Flanders
At the request of operator Domitys Group, ION realized the project Het Reihof in the outskirts of Bruges. Architect A1AR realized the design and ION, together with experienced partners, was responsible for the construction of the residence. Residents here enjoy the comfort of a five-star hotel, with a wide range of facilities: an indoor swimming pool, wellness and fitness, a restaurant, a library, a hairdresser, a beauty salon and a lounge bar. In the underground parking garage there are 80 parking spaces, bicycle racks and private storage rooms.
