A colorful and iconic eye-catcher, that will be the HOOST project on the Maes and Boereboomplein in Knokke-Heist. Ingenium lays important sustainable accents and relieves the contractors.
The design is by the renowned Parisian architectural firm Jakob MacFarlane. A construction team consisting of architectural firm B2Ai, developer CAAAP, contractor Artes and Ingenium further shaped the project. The building has a footprint of 1,444 square meters and will have 13 above-ground and 1 underground floors and counting, which will be filled mainly with 90 apartments and 7 penthouses. In addition to offices and a central patio, the lower floors will house various (semi-)public spaces such as a library and game library, a multipurpose event space, a council chamber for local government and a drinking establishment. In addition to the tower building, a low-rise building for commercial businesses will also be erected. With the demolition of the old town hall and the meeting center the Ravelingen and the construction of a large underground parking lot (2 floors), a lot of space will become available on the square that can be used multifunctionally.
BEO and BIM
Naast opvallende architectuur en maximale beleving wordt ook sterk ingezet op duurzaamheid. Onder het plein wordt een BEO-veld aangelegd. Elke gebruiker – zowel appartement/penthouse als publieke ruimte – wordt via een warmtepomp aan dit centrale warmte- en koudenet gekoppeld. Zo zal het volledige gebouw gasloos worden verwarmd in de winter en wordt ook in de warme zomermaanden een aangenaam binnenklimaat gegarandeerd.
Architecture, stability and techniques coordinate the entire project in a central BIM model. In consultation with Artes, Ingenium also prepares the specific execution models for the techniques, which will be used during execution on site.
