The redevelopment of the Standaert site was an ideal opportunity to create a place at the service of the inhabitants in the densely built area of Ledeberg. Murmuur architecten, Carton123 architecten, aearchitecten with landscape studio Arne Deruyter and engineering office H110 won everyone over with their winning design: the area flourishes in green, open space.

The Standaert site no longer hides behind the terraced houses of Hoveniersstraat and Hilarius Bertolfstraat, but shows itself prominently on both sides. Drawn by the art installations of Marc Nagtzaam and by an abundance of greenery, you enter a new horizon in which the act of meeting is triumphant. The built-up tangle that was leftover appears today as a passable outdoor room that lets the area breathe more freely. The early design sketches make you sense already how greenery constitutes a connecting factor from street to street. Climbing plants and currant bushes, vines and copses let passers-by linger in a succession of resting places that they can appropriate. A yard composed of vegetable gardens and a south-facing terrace makes up the beating heart of the park. The stepping stones, sand pit and wadi provide the necessary play elements that open up the place to toddlers and young children too.
