Leopoldskazerne, Military site renovation in Ghent, Belgium
The Leopoldskazerne redevelopment transforms a former military complex into a mixed-use development with residential units, offices, and a hotel around a central square.
Built between 1890 and 1905 by architects de Noyette and Geerling, the complex housed 1,300 soldiers and later served as the Health Service Centre training facility.
The site stands along Ghent's art corridor, connecting major institutions including SMAK, Museum of Fine Arts, and HISK art college within the cultural district.
The development includes 82 apartments, 10 houses, underground parking facilities, and gardens, with residential units ranging from 70 to 217 square meters.
The redevelopment maintains the building's original defensive architecture with thick walls and corner towers while creating new openings to connect with Citadel Park.
