Interior architect and your host at Great.

Great is my home.

It’s the place where my greatest passions come together: hosting people and architecture.

I hope you’ll soon feel at home in the place where I love to share my passion for architecture, eclectic items, beautiful spots, and art.

I live on the second and third floors. So, you have the ideal upstairs neighbor for tips on a wonderful stay in the Artevelde city.

We’ve gathered our favorite spots for you on a life-sized city map of Ghent in the entrance, so you can navigate the city like a local right away.

You can also find these spots below in a handy overview, and on a map on Google Maps, perfect for on the go!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Greetje
