Concept

Flanders Avenue is a new residential development project consisting of twenty-three apartments and parking. The project includes two blocks, one in the Vlaanderenstraat and one on the Brabantdam interconnected at ground-floor and basement level by a car park. The two blocks arose following the demolition of the central zone within the existing housing block. Apartments on the first floor gained a beautiful landscaped inner garden divided between the apartments as a result of the central zone having been cleared. The upper-level apartments in the Vlaanderenstraat gained private roof gardens with amazing views of the Ghent city centre. Interior walls were finished in white plaster, enhancing their calming characteristics. The facade on the Brabantdam was renovated and the facade in the Vlaanderenstraat was totally restyled. Bold horizontal lines were interspersed with smaller-scale vertical details and blinds. The facade is made from blue Belgian limestone, a reference to the classic facades in the rest of the street.
