According to Thuiswest, this is a conscious choice. “Collaborating with local residents gives our projects extra value. Where possible, we increasingly focus on participation and listen to ideas from the neighborhood,” it says.
Architectural firm Claeys from Roeselare is designing the new homes, while engineering firm Stiel is responsible for the green design and roads. The existing green zones will be retained and expanded where possible. There will be a strong focus on safe connections for cyclists and pedestrians.
