The Grand residential building
The former Grand Hotel was designed by Belgian architect Apollon Lagache in 1924 for the seaside resort of Nieuwpoort Bad, which had grown popular in the late nineteenth century. As the city grew up around it, the building itself deteriorated. Substantial war damage compounded by piecemeal modifications including the demolition of some of the building’s towers and turrets compromised its appearance, status and silhouette. The building was most recently used as holiday apartments but has been vacant since 2018. The project seeks to restore the building to its former grandeur through its restoration and sensitive vertical extension. The upper levels of the building will house apartments while a restaurant, bar and shops reconnect it to the surrounding public realm at ground level.
