Lange Dreef Beveren, Belgium 2021–

The project comprises 131 dwellings and is located in Beveren, a town on the periphery of Antwerp. Positioned in the new town centre, two open sided courtyard blocks divide the site to form a series of distinct landscape typologies: mews, courtyard, roof garden, and town square. Despite its central urban location, this array of spaces orientate residents towards the natural world, nurturing collectivity and offering parity between a life lived indoors and one lived outside. Within, a wide variety of generous apartments house a mixed community of families and individuals.

In collaboration with WV Architechten.

Bay windows offer oblique views along the tree lined boulevard and establish a rhythmic presence.

Two open sided courtyard blocks divide the site, establishing a new route

The mews runs north – south and connects the town square with the Lange Dreef

Through a fragmented building block our proposal introduces a passageway between the new administrative centre and Lange Dreef. This divides the site into two smaller building blocks.

This divides the site into two smaller building blocks. The houses are arranged around two respective courtyards, one is oriented west and one east.
