Maggie’s Leuven

De Wilde Kristoff

Maggie’s: vision

Making people at ease

Open structure

Different workshops

Listening ear

Getting into contact with other patients/visitors

Cozy

…

= Feeling like home away from home

?

Maggie’s: location

on/embedded into the Hillside

Cozy, safely entangled into the earth while still being able to distinguish itself from it’s surroundings.

In the armpit of the site

Cozy, protected atmosphere, where different relations with the site can be accomplished.

Connection, directly from Gasthuisberg

Cutting through the vegetation, to create an inviting, yet semi-private entrance to Maggie’s

By providing main entrance directly from the road passing by the site, the center is accessible for all.

But Maggie’s is also accessible from places where it extends itself into the hillside

Maggie’s: concept

Embedding in the earth

Like Villa Valls, Search Architects

Cozy, safe, home

Becoming one with nature

Dividing functions in different blocks, each facing a direction

Blocks themselves are entities, with a specific character that differs not only

by its specific conditions, but also by its relation to the outside and the other

blocks

Places in between not only circulation !!! => different possibilities

• dining

• Chatting

• Exposition

• …

Maggie’s: concept

Maggie’s as a village => example : Minimal House by Kazuyuki Okumura architects
