KCAP in cooperation with evr-architecten have completed the residential tower Zuiderzicht in Antwerp, Belgium. It is one of the new buildings of the Antwerp Nieuw Zuid development, a new residential area along the River Scheldt in the South of Antwerp. The 80 metres tower with integrated hotel stands out for its iconic double façade and dialogue with its surroundings. Developer Triple Living commissioned the Dutch-Belgian team after their design had been awarded first prize in an international competition in 2014. Bureau Bouwtechniek supported the architects with the technical elaboration and site supervision.

The 21,082 m2 building consists of five layers at its base, including a hotel with 108 rooms, on top a 25-storey tower with 134 dwellings and below parking on two underground levels. Plinth and tower form one coherent building volume. The architectural concept for Zuiderzicht is characterised by a wide variety of housing types for different user groups: young families, seniors, co-housers, singles, and working couples. The apartments are compact and efficiently organised around a central core, designed with flexible floor plan layouts and constructed with a load bearing facade. This flexibility allows for combining units to create larger residences and for adapting to changing needs in the future.
