Welcome to the heart of Antwerp, where the essence of heritage harmonises beautifully with a sustainable future. In this article, we’ll unravel the story of Antwerp’s green housing renaissance.
The Green Quarter
The Green Quarter, a vibrant new neighbourhood that stands as a symbol of creativity, architectural innovation, and tranquility. Here, you’ll witness how Antwerp’s commitment to green living extends beyond aesthetics to create a harmonious and sustainable urban community.
Palazzo Verde
Palazzo Verde, hailed as one of Belgium’s greenest buildings, embodies the essence of eco-conscious design. This architectural gem employs natural materials and boasts a micro forest on its rooftop, a living testament to Antwerp’s dedication to purifying the air by capturing approximately 5 tons of CO2 annually.
PAKT
PAKT, a former military hospital and warehouse, has transformed into a haven of urban agriculture. With 1800 square metres of rooftop farmland and thriving ecosystems, this project not only revitalises a historic space but also cultivates a sustainable future.
Tuinstraten
The Tuinstraten project reimagines urban spaces by infusing them with greenery and enhanced sustainability. “Garden streets” adorned with wall gardens, vegetable patches, and towering trees breathe life into the city’s neighbourhoods, promoting a greener and more vibrant Antwerp.
Nieuw-Zuid
Antwerp’s future shines bright with the upcoming Nieuw-Zuid low-energy passive housing development. This visionary project seamlessly integrates commercial and residential spaces, featuring flexible winter gardens equipped with glass partitions and a heating network. It exemplifies Antwerp’s commitment to sustainable living in the modern age.
