Dimitri Jeurissen, his wife Jeanna Criscitiello and their three sons Jasper (12), Ian (10) and Malcolm (4) live in a loft in an old hat factory dating from the beginning of the 19th century. The typical industrial building, with a very geometrical layout, was renovated in 2004-2006 into a complex of apartments, lofts, a gallery, an architects’ office and the design studio of BaseDesign, where Dimitri Jeurissen is Art Director and a partner.
