"The use of wood makes the monolithic architecture feel natural and tangible, bringing scale and warmth to the home." With this reflection, Frederik Dierckxsens describes the role of materiality within KS Residence.

Within walking distance of the centre of Zedelgem, Project Z brings together 33 spacious apartments across two four-storey volumes, with south-facing terraces overlooking greenery and a water basin.

For the residential project Blauwpoorte in Izegem, Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects were looking for a façade material that would go beyond a purely aesthetic finish. It needed to reinforce the refined lines and rhythm of the design, bring warmth to the volumes, offer long-term durability and comply with strict fire safety requirements.
