Extension of two 15-bed units for persons suffering from
Alzheimer’s.
Site:
This project is situated in a residential neighbourhood in
Woluwe Saint-Pierre. Two types of urban settings
different in nature and scope are side by side. The place
chosen to host the project hinges between the two types
of setting. The top of the site, at the Clos des Chasseurs,
corresponds to the level of the first floor of the home
(main entrance level). The bottom part of the site, on the
Val des Epinettes, corresponds to the ground floor level.
Organising the link to the neighbourhood:
The basic option of the project consists of integrating the
two units in the residential neighbourhood. The building
is composed of four volumes similar in size to those of
Boulevard du Souverain 360/B7
B - 1160 Brussels
the groups of houses in the garden city. These volumes
are organised round a common garden and thus
encompass the block.
Level management:
The building is aligned with the size of the neighbouring
houses without exceeding the cornice level. A parking
facility for about 25 cars occupies the basement. This
surface can also be used for logistics. The ground floor
comprises a ward for disoriented persons with 15 beds
and is organised round a garden. On the first floor, a
similar unit is installed on the same level as the Clos des
Chasseurs. A walkway links the existing rest home with
the new units.
