The existing nursing home no longer meets the current functional standards: communal living is not possible, the rooms are too small, the distances too great, ... VK solves this with a very legible and flexible design, based on the organisation of types of users: staff, living groups, visitors.

The existing nursing home is located between a beautiful green area and various residential areas. Public facilities and public buildi...

clep nursing home

The existing home displays severe deficiencies, both functionally and structurally. A replacement building closer to the town centre of Alveringem seemed the most practicable solution. A conversion would be too expensive and the current site has too little room for expansion.

The new campus will offer a differentiated assisted care: a residential complex for people suffering from dementia, sheltered accommodation for married c...

sint-vincentius nursing home

The existing centre has 2 floors and consists of 3 volumes. Built in 1990 and extended in 1997 and 2000, today it no longer meets the social requirements. Moreover, the kitchen does not meet HACCP standards.

A major renovation and expansion of the nursing home has therefore been planned. VK will convert all double rooms into single rooms and widen the cramped single rooms. The living groups will be reorganised into six smaller...

herdershove nursing home

“Herdershove” provides a contemporary answer to the practical needs of nursing homes. The nursing home seeks a balance between technical requirements in terms of nursing, a home-like atmosphere and a lifestyle in which its residents feel comfortable.

In phase I (1992-1998), at the periphery of Bruges, VK designed a new structure to replace an earlier nursing home in the heart of the city. An extensive organisation ...

residence ten eeckhoute

This senior residence in the heart of Bruges was built in the early 1990s when serviced flats were still a reasonably new phenomenon on the Belgian market. The residence owes its success to a number of factors, including a wide range of options and a luxurious atmosphere. Actually, Ten Eeckhoute offers an ambience between a serviced flat and a hotel. For example, residents can rent or buy one, two or three-room apartments. Meals are serv...

sijsele care centre

In the district of Sijsele, the social welfare (OCMW) organisation of Damme is building a new care campus with sheltered flats, a centre for short stays and a Social Home. There will also be a day centre and a number of sheltered housing units that are being built by other organisations.

For the care campus, VK is realising a design that radiates small-scale charm with living groups of 8 persons. In the interest of functionali...

heilige familie nursing home

The existing nursing home will be replaced by a new structure. It no longer fulfils the present functional standards in terms of communal living, room size and walking distances.

VK’s design will be situated at the same location of the present facility, and the home will remain in operation during construction. This means that the location will be partly determined by a necessary phased development. During the first phas...

ter monde serviced flats

The client, Huize Mariatroon, wishes to establish itself as an open nursing home and care centre where privacy, independence and a good living atmosphere are the focal points. Seniors living here will continue to be integrated into society. This is why the client wishes to implement communal residence where older people reside in a natural and recognisable environment while enjoying supportive care. VK embodies these principles in its de...

louise serviced flats

The client, Rust- en Verzorgingstehuis Sint-Jozef, delineated a number of boundary conditions for the new construction of the serviced flat block Louise. The design by VK was to be built on the corner of the site adjacent to an executive residence that is part of the local architectural heritage. Additionally, a passageway above the emergency fire escape will connect the building of serviced flats to the residence.

The borders...

huize zonnelied

The present facility is located in the centre of Ieper, enclosed by streets and a limited amount of terrain. The premises include serviced flats, a daycare centre and a nursing home. Because of a number of deficiencies in the present residence, it is being for the most part replaced by a new structure. The limited area results in a design with 5 structural levels. The other structures on the premises are being thoroughly renovated.
