30 Category 1: Buildings 1 Alsberghe & Van Oost Residence - Ghent, Belgium AP SE Owner Optimabank Architect Arch & Teco Architecture and Planning General Contractor Besix Vlaanderen Engineering Office Arch & Teco Engineering Construction Period 2009 - 2015 A new residential quarter was designed by Arch & Teco on the site Alsberghe Van Oost in Ghent. Cluster 1 consists of 4 buildings gathered around a central garden and founded on a common parking basement. The apartments are characterized by three substantial cantilevers, with both the slabs and the walls executed in concrete. Building P was erected within the contours of an old industrial masonry hall. Arch & Teco used SCIA Engineer for the calculation of the foundations and the two-level high cantilevers of cluster 1 as well as the roof of building P. The footing of the foundation was modelled with a modulus of sub-grade reaction, and the reactions of the tower cranes were added to the model during execution. A control of the existing trusses was made for the roof of building P, as the trusses house an old steam turbine. During sketch design SCIA Engineer offered the opportunity for a firsthand view of the characteristics of the cantilevering floors. While the project developed towards execution, the model could be easily adapted and detailed. Optimization of the reinforcements in the foundation slab was achieved simply by changing the modulus of sub-grade.
