Boterberg
Collective housing
On the domain Boterberg in Kalmthout the outbuildings of the castle with the same name were renovated into seven dwellings.
The caretaker’s house and the barn are now a double house. The former stables for the cows, pigs and horses have been turned into one-family houses. All these buildings belong to the government protected cultural heritage and are situated in a nature reserve. This means the volumes and the outer walls have to be safeguarded.
The basic shell of the units was dealt with in a common project. This allowed the creation of unity in the cluster of buildings.
All habitants share the rest of the wide, green and forested domain that offers a swimming pond, an orchard and a vegetable garden. The castle itself houses a department of a psychological center, a graphic design agency and guest rooms.
