Shigure Ban first Belgian project

Award-winning architect Shigeru Ban, wood artist and master of the use of renewable materials, is showcasing his exceptional talents at Nieuw Zuid. A first, because the Japanese architect is designing in Belgium for the first time. It is a major new addition to an urban development making a name for itself as an architectural site.

Living connected with nature

BAN is being built on the edge of Nieuw Zuid’s sprawling park. An impressive work of art that rises above the site, so the higher tower floors also enjoy views of the Scheldt and city. Connection between people, building and environment is essential for the architect. That philosophy comes to life in the warm wooden facade work and the layout that can be adapted to the residents’ wishes.
