Sint-Godelieve Institute

10/12
Antwerp-08
The extension of a fashion and art school in Antwerp is a square building surrounding a courtyard. the building is lifted on the front side to allow continuity between courtyard and neighbouring park. Previously dead-end circulation in the existing building is now extended into a continuous 3-dimensional loop which flows into various outdoor spaces and a sculpture garden on a roof. A movable beam on top of the extension makes it possible to program the new courtyard for different kinds of events.
