In the eighties the residential neighbourhood ‘de Bosschen’ was developed. A good link with the Parkwijk and the city park on the other side of the ‘Steenweg op Tielen’ was unfortunately not realized. The development of the site between the road and the neighbourhood is the chance to conceive this link. In this plan 50 new houses around a new green public space are carefully positioned within the exiting situation. The program consists of family houses in different typologies, group housing for people with special needs and a new public space that links the existing neighbourhoods and the city park. The development of De Bosschen is a good opportunity to design the integration of the two residential areas. When this connection is made, also the spacious city park is within reach for existing and new inhabitants.

Rutger Boydens
Rutger graduated from the Luca School of Arts in Brussels in 2013. After his studies, he moved to Antwerp to do internships at various architectural offices including ABN architecten and Markant Architecten. Since 2015, he has been working for WoonWerk Architecten. Not only the architecture attracts him, but also the international and family office atmosphere. After several years of working on various projects from A to Z, the strong interest in execution and detailing emerges more strongly. In consultation with Rik and Johan, it is decided to deploy him for all projects in the construction phase. On a daily basis, he tries to manage the execution of the various projects. Furthermore, he supports the preparation of tender dossiers through the knowledge gained on site.
