Scheldezicht

vertical neighbourhood

Scheldezicht is a dynamic and sustainable residential complex conceived as a vertical city neighbourhood, with a wide variety of residential units and collective meeting spaces. And with a spectacular view over the city and the Scheldt.

Attention to social contact

Towers often suffer from a lack of social contact. Although people frequently cross each other in the elevator or in the entrance hall, there is little in the way of real encounters. Scheldezicht aims to challenge that apparent paradox and encourage social interactions without sacrificing privacy. The aim of the residential tower is to break with traditional building trends that isolate residents.

The bricks in the design of Scheldezicht refer to the typical Belgian roots. The diverse horizontal, vibrant social fabric that typifies Antwerpen Zuid was translated into a vertical social life in the tower. To this end, the architect created collective spaces, including a roof garden and a very spacious entrance hall that also serves as a meeting space.

Did you know that Scheldezicht, like the other residential towers on Nieuw Zuid, is 80 metres high? The building is thus taller than the Central Station (75m) and the police tower on Oudaan (70m).

"I think it's important to understand the place where I'm building. So we studied Antwerp and delivered a design that we think is very Belgian."

The architect's vision

"The building offers apartments with all comforts and amenities. Terraces and balconies that can be transformed into additional rooms or winter gardens create private outdoor spaces. Of course, the view from the apartments is rather spectacular, really fantastic. You can understand the whole place, the city, the whole region almost, simply by glancing out the window. The light in the apartments will be incredible. I would love to live here myself," said architect Lone Wiggers.
