Inclusive living in a protected heritage setting
May 2025

Ternickstraat

In the heart of Antwerp, nestled within the historically protected Terninckstraat, Building & Partners delivered a residential care facility tailored for individuals with physical and/or mental disabilities. Commissioned through a public tender, the project demanded meticulous attention to regulatory compliance, accessibility, and sensitive integration within the urban fabric. Despite the complexities of the site and coordination with concurrent construction activities, the project was completed on schedule, meeting all predefined specifications.

The question

The client required the transformation of a site within a heritage-protected street into a residential facility that would:

  • Comply with stringent public procurement regulations

  • Accommodate residents with physical and/or mental disabilities

  • Ensure full accessibility and adherence to specific dimensional and equipment standards

  • Respect and preserve the historical character of the surrounding environment

Our approach

Operating within a narrow, historically protected street presented unique challenges. Additionally, simultaneous construction by another contractor on the same site necessitated precise coordination. Building & Partners established clear agreements with all stakeholders, ensuring seamless collaboration and adherence to the project timeline. Special consideration was given to the residents’ needs, both during construction and in the aftercare phase, reflecting our commitment to delivering projects that serve their communities effectively.

Important features

Tailored Accessibility: Design and construction adhered strictly to regulations governing facilities for individuals with disabilities, ensuring full accessibility and comfort for all residents.
Heritage Integration: The building's design and execution respected the historical context of Terninckstraat, preserving the street's architectural integrity.
Collaborative Execution: Effective coordination with concurrent construction activities on-site ensured project milestones were met without compromise.
