When developing collective housing projects, the market offer almost always consists of the same typologies: simplex flats with one or two bedrooms and a traditional plan layout. Single-oriented units with (too) limited private outdoor space are still commonplace.

The Van Praet project unequivocally takes a different approach. Four volumes of different sizes are precisely positioned together and enclose a collective inner garden. 

The typological variety is enriched with duplex and triplex dwellings containing one to five bedrooms. A substantial proportion of the homes are integrally accessible from the outset for people with reduced mobility. The park-facing homes can be linked to the manufacturing companies in the plinth to create studio homes.

Each dwelling has at least two orientations. The plans are conceived as corner flats, enfilade typologies and 'sun-through' apartments. Generous terraces and double-height voids guarantee high living quality.

Collective spaces in the plinth reinforce the residential community, which will be very diverse thanks to the typological mix. Young and old will find their place there, people will live and work there.
