Within the city's outlined urban framework, a new public park will serve as the backbone for this residential development, drawing inspiration from warehouse-like structures and industrial complexes typically found along canals and waterways. This translates in a sturdy brick architecture characterised by a rhythmic facade, allowing for flexible residential space. Tall brick piers provide vertical articulation, reminiscent of the adjacent historic building.
The larger building is centred around an intimate courtyard that connects to the public park via two passages. Hexagonal concrete volumes, evocative of industrial silos, define a roofscape of penthouses. The smaller building marks the arrival of a new bridge across the river, and adds to the rich sequence of building silhouettes along the Dijle.. Its plinth extends into the park, creating a spacious pavilion with a covered outdoor area for a future neighbourhood café.
The proximity to the public park and the expansive surrounding landscape informed a strategy of creating more intimate spaces that mediate between the interior and exterior. Brick piers frame a deep facade, subtly shielding generous balcony spaces behind, offering privacy and shelter from the elements. The main facade of the larger building employs the same elements but is compressed into a bas-relief composition, lending a subtle formality towards the main square and the city centre beyond.
