The buildings situated at the Raas van Gaverestraat 106 and 108, a former frame factory, were acquired and renovated by Anton and Annick Herbert at the beginning of the 1980s.

The premises at Coupure Links is a 19th century hangar renovated by Herbert Foundation in 2011. The hangar was originally owned by ‘Atelier Van den Kerchove’, a company founded in 1825 which specialised in the construction of Corliss steam engines.

Both buildings are connected by a garden that crosses the inner area.
