HOTEL ATLANTA:
Adaptive reuse of a hotel into residential apartments.

The project features a setback rooftop extension, crafted as a lightweight CLT structure to preserve the stability of the historic building. Its mirrored glass façade gives the addition a sense of visual lightness, allowing it to rise above the original form without overwhelming it. The extension follows the curved lines of the original Art Deco architecture, creating a contemporary volume that respects the heritage below while introducing new, modern living space. Rounded shapes and subtle reflections ensure the new level harmonizes with the existing landmark.

HOTEL ATLANTA:
Adaptive reuse of a hotel into residential apartments.

Inside ATLANTA, curved lines, coloured tiles, and pastel tones recall the elegance of the 1930s, while original doors and floors are combined with walnut, textile wallcoverings, and ceramic finishes, introducing a contemporary softness wit subtle touches. Meanwhile, recessed terraces preserve the rhythm of the façade and give each apartment a loggia-like feel. The stairwell forms the soul of the building, where daily bustle gives way to a calming atmosphere, with new floorboards intentionally left recognisable as contemporary additions—a tangible metaphor for time and renewal.

HOTEL ATLANTA:
Adaptive reuse of a hotel into residential apartments.

ATLANTA is the transformation of a 1930s hotel in Middelkerke into eight contemporary apartments. Positioned on the corner of Koninginnelaan and Parijsstraat, the building regains visibility after years of vacancy, overshadowed by surrounding high-rise development. The renovation focuses on sustainability and respect for the original architecture, carefully restoring its Art Deco and "New Objectivity" features including the protected façade. In this way, the project brings new life to a historic landmark while maintaining the balance between past character and present needs.
