Building phase of our project “Housing Factory Hogeweg” has begun. The former knitware factory Henri Verhulst on the Hogeweg in Erembodegem, Belgium, gets a residential purpose (20 housing units). By keeping existing facades and re-using valuable parts of the exisitng buildings the overall characteristics of this example of interbellum architecture are conservated. The space with exisiting buildings wil be redeveloped into a distinctive housing factory. The Northern part of this lot will be transformed to a “factory garden”.
