Situated in the tranquil setting of Heusden-Zolder, Oriole is a boutique residential development comprising 10 nearly energy-neutral (BEN) apartments. Developed by YOBO Real Estate and designed by FRAGMAT Architects, the project harmoniously blends modern architecture with the surrounding natural environment. The two low-rise buildings are thoughtfully positioned adjacent to a bird-rich nature reserve, offering residents a serene living experience without sacrificing proximity to urban amenities.
The objective was to create a residential complex that:
Offers high-quality, energy-efficient apartments suitable for various lifestyles
Integrates seamlessly with the natural environment of the adjacent nature reserve
Provides a car-free, safe, and peaceful living experience
Ensures accessibility to local amenities and public transport
Oriole comprises two buildings, each housing five apartments with one to three bedrooms. Ground-floor units feature private gardens, while upper-floor apartments boast spacious, southeast-facing terraces. The design emphasizes natural light, open spaces, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Sustainable technologies are integral to the project, including individual heat pumps, underfloor heating, solar panels, and a ventilation system with heat recovery (type D).
The development is car-free, with above-ground parking located at the rear and a communal bicycle storage facility. The site is fully enclosed, ensuring privacy and security for residents.
