Stadium KMSK

Deinze, Belgium
2018-

The project involves transforming the current stadium to accommodate 8,000 spectators and developing an urban area of 18,000 m², consisting of 10,000 m² of residential space and 8,000 m² for recreational and service functions. The residential units are oriented towards the canal and green surroundings, while the services and recreational spaces are directed towards the city and Tweebruggenlaan.

To create a cohesive architectural identity, all buildings and facades are designed in a uniform style. Continuous, cantilevered concrete canopies and terraces connect the various functions and give structure to the different volumes. These terraces serve as green roofs, sports facilities, or private terraces, extending the natural landscape into the architecture. Planters on the cantilevered terraces further enhance the integration of the building with its green surroundings.

The facades feature anodized bronze-colored aluminum and floor-to-ceiling glass panels, combined with wooden infill panels that provide a sense of vertical rhythm. All roofs are functionally designed: rainwater is harvested for reuse, and the stadium roofs are reserved for solar panels. Other roofs are equipped with sports facilities, such as a swimming pool and padel courts, or used as terraces.
