KON 13

At the Villermontstraat in Kontich, a number of old and vacant buildings were demolished on behalf of Martens Projects. The forthcoming free space is mainly set up as a green area for the benefit of the surrounding existing houses and as a garden for the newly designed building. This space could be freed by not juxtaposing the different new houses to be designed in this area, but by stacking them. In addition, an underground parking garage is provided in order to keep the plot completely car-free. The focus was on a diverse, flexible and affordable housing supply. In consultation with the municipality of Kontich, the supervision of green structures & paths for slow traffic of pedestrians and cyclists was facilitated.
