In the next decade the new city quarter “Antwerp Nieuw-Zuid” will be realized along the river Scheldt in the Southwest of Antwerp as a high-quality extension of the historic city centre. As one of the first implementations the “bigger and cheaper” housing project by Atelier Kempe Thill is completed. The housing project contains thirty two flexible winter garden apartments and commercialspaces on the ground floor built on a collective parking garage. The apartments vary in size from 40 m² up to more than 160 m² and have all at least at one side an excellent outside space of more than 25 m² that can be closed during the rainy season with movable glass partitions. The apartments are realized as low-energy passive housing for a relatively low building price of approximately € 1.250/m² gross.
