HOF VAN ELOY
Sint-Eloois-Winkel....
The project for a new multifamily residence in Sint-Eloois-Winkel is part of a broader redevelopment of the village center, within the “Hof van Eloy” master plan. The project site is located between Sint-Hubrechtsplein, Kerkstraat, and various existing facilities such as the Chiro, the church, and the former Patronaat. The existing, outdated buildings—including an old school building, a rectory, and outbuildings—will be demolished. In their place, a compact, contemporary multi-family residence with 26 apartments will be built, integrated into a green, partially publicly accessible environment.

The building’s layout is tailored to the spatial context and aims to maximize accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists. The multi-family residence is situated along Sint-Hubrechtsplein, with a north-south orientation that makes optimal use of natural light. The creation of paths along both side facades establishes a smooth connection between Kerkstraat and the square. The green space at the rear will be partially transferred to the municipality so that it can serve as a play area for the Chiro youth group and a gathering place for residents.
The residential program offers a diverse range of units, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments spread across four stories. Thirty underground parking spaces are provided. The bicycle parking facility, which accommodates 56 bicycles, is located along the north side of the building.
The architectural concept seeks to harmonize with the small scale of the village center. The building is divided into four blocks, each with its own facade and sloped roof. This creates a village-like character that fits within the scale of the surrounding buildings. The facades are constructed of brick masonry, with color variations by block—gray, white, and green. The south facade features indoor terraces overlooking the square, which alternate between recessed and projecting positions from block to block, contributing to the verticality of the overall design. Recessed penthouses behind the roof surfaces create spacious rooftop terraces without disrupting the streetscape.
