Nekkersput, inspiring renovation

How a dilapidated residential tower was transformed into a frivolous building with spacious flats where the livability of the residents is paramount. This successful design by DBLVa (Dierendonckblanke architecten - Lust-Van De Ginste architecten) was made possible thanks to our partner Bekaert Construction, which used the Star75 aluminium system for this project.

The original long narrow 8-storey building overlooks the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen nature reserve on one side and the city centre on the other. DBLVa transforms the housing units into ideal duplexes. As sustainability plays a major role throughout this project, Star75 windows were chosen. Aliplast received a Silver Cradle-to-Cradle certificate for this aluminium system. This certificate stands for sustainability in five areas: material health - product circularity - clean air & climate protection - water & soil stewardship - social fairness.
