concept

An existing warehouse in the heart of Ghent is part of a larger plot situated on the Krommewal. Developer Urbanlink decided to rezone it for use as multi-family housing.

Project Description

The existing underground car park under the entire site is retained, but reorganised according to the new circulation node and ancillary facilities such as bicycle storage and technical rooms.

In terms of volume, the building fits in with the neighbouring structure on the left. The construction depth on the ground floor is 15 m, on the upper floor 12 m. There are 3 storeys and a top floor under the roof. All apartments are linked to a central circulation node, and each apartment is directly accessible from the street. The residential units are oriented to both the south and north. The orientation to the north is justified by the beautiful open view onto the street, from which the residents also look on the Willem de Beer Park. Comfortable balconies are provided on the street side.
