0155 Louise Marie Towers, Antwerp, BE
Close to the historic park Domein Hertoghe a new apartment complex of two hundred twenty dwellings will be realized. The design proposes two identic towers, which are connected by an underground parking garage and embedded into a soft moulded landscape.
The concrete frame construction provides high flexibility, which allows a great variety of different dwelling types. The apartments are characterized by generous panoramic windows and provide a wide view over the city. Wintergardens serve as all-year outside spaces and as a buffer against noise from the nearby ring highway. Fairfaced concrete facade elements, anodized windows and glass create a natural atmosphere. Important part of the project is the design of the exterior: by creating a hilly landscape with dense vegetation, the buildings are integrated in the surroundings and the transition towards the public space is softened.
