Welcome to Deurne (B)

Due to a merger of the eight villages and cities around and including Antwerp in the early 80’s into a unified Antwerp, the existing governmental facilities became the new districts district houses. This merger changed the way the district council and staff is organised dramatically. A new approach for the way a district house is organised should be envisioned within Deurnes fragmented context. The location is located on a junction between Hugh apartment towers, the historical center of Deurne and the old church and vicar. A small urban intervention creates a new square on one of Deurnes primary axis, the Turnhoutsebaan. This road is connecting Deurne physically and visually with Antwerp, creating a symbolic gesture towards the district house and its city.
