Zuidertuin, Antwerp, Belgium

The residential building ‘Zuidertuin’ is part of the urban development for the Nieuw Zuid district in Antwerp. This new district extends between one of the busiest traffic intersections in Belgium and the wide open spaces of the Scheldt Quays and the river bed. Some 49 residential units of varying sizes with ‘through lounge’ are divided among the six levels in the form of duplex units or standard apartments. At the centre of the plinth course there are residences with access at ground level, while commercial spaces at ground level are at either facing end of the building and integrate with the neighbourhood. The above-ground bicycle storage and driveway to the underground car park are highlighted with sky blue ceilings. Elegant external stairways on the eastern side of the building connect the various floors to one another and also bring light right into the heart of the building.

Antwerp, Belgium

For the established clothing brand Carhartt WIP, Robbrecht en Daem renovated an existing building into a new location in Antwerp.
