Campus Waegebrughe - A care center for the young and the elderly
The new Campus Waegebrughe is designed as a public center for the community of Marolle. It's an integral response to the different demands for a contemporary care center, where both young and eldery people will be living.
At the beginning of the project lies the challenge to integrate the former convent structure into the new community and care center. The whole setting is a combination of several units in a way that strong relationships are created, while respecting the uniqueness of each entity. It is a spatial arrangement according to a programmatic functional and efficient layout. The arrangement of the buildings ensures flexibility in implementation, operation and future expansion.
