‘residence de boei’ by dierendonckblancke architects all photos by kristien daem
dierendonckblancke architects‘ ‘residence de boei’ is a project located in middelkerke, on the belgian coast. urban planning limited the height of the building and imposes an inclined roof.
the design is divided into two parts: an upper structure along the street that is part of a continuous terraced housing and the lower structure, the ground level and two underground parking garages built on the total area of the site. the underground parking garage is equipped with a roof garden that livens up the inner courtyard.
the project consists of 12 apartments, and 12 duplexflats. each apartment is built around a core that includes all the functional spaces: bathroom, kitchen and restroom.
the plans of the apartments are mirrored so that the front and the rear of the structure are identical in construction. this created an open plan for the apartments and duplex flats. the living and sleeping quarters can be easily swapped so that the living space are located either on the street- or garden side.
the duplexflats have a staggered structure, with a staircase that connects the down – front side with the upper-rearside or vice versa. the roof of the project is mirrored every other apartment, fragmenting the roof.
