The site, located in the centre of Petegem, is indirectly connected to the main access road through the village. A central sightline runs straight through the site to St Martin’s Church. The peripheral area at Kastanjeplein serves as a linear parking zone.
Large, valuable existing trees give the site an exceptionally green character.

The starting point for the design is the central axis of sight towards St Martin’s Church. The pedestrian crossing is extended in the new master plan to the opposite side. To ensure good accessibility of the site, a new crossing is provided across this axis between Krauwelstraat and Kastanjeplein. An elegant elongated volume is planted along this cross shape. The volume is intersected by the circulation axis, creating a framed view of St Martin’s Church. A subordinate volume with single-family dwellings connects to the immediate context.
