With this project in Haacht, the architects of OSAR aimed to propose an alternative to conventional residential care homes. The development comprises 52 assisted living units and a community service centre. The service centre is located on the ground floor and accommodates, among other functions, a restaurant. An underground parking garage is provided at basement level. The parking level and the ground floor are constructed with a concrete structural system in order to minimise the number of structural elements within the open-plan layout. For the upper floors, in which the residential units are organised, the architects opted for a timber structural system composed of CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) elements, with a view to the potential future reuse of these structural components. The underlying concept is that, should the structure be dismantled at some point, its elements could be reused in the construction of another building. In this context, the design takes into account the maximum production dimensions of the CLT elements, aiming to minimise cutting waste and to preserve the largest possible element sizes in order to optimise future reuse. No additional ceiling finishes were applied; the CLT elements remain exposed. On top of the CLT floor panels, a layer of gravel was installed as a subfloor. Gravel can be easily removed and reused for other purposes without damaging the CLT elements. The CLT partition walls between the dwellings remain exposed on one side. On the opposite side, a lightweight acoustically insulated wall is constructed parallel to the CLT wall. The cavity between both walls accommodates the building services, thereby preserving the integrity of the CLT elements as much as possible.
