Project description

The Eigen Huis npo was set up in 1975 as a centre for the integration of disabled people. It has developed various activities to achieve this. In 1980 it started a collective housing facility in Grimbergen for thirty adults with serious motor disablement. An Adapted Transport Service provides door to door transport for the residents and all those with limited mobility in the Halle-Vilvoorde district. The community centre organises socio-cultural activities that are also open to a broader public. Lastly, the Mobile Assistance and Support Unit offers assistance and support to disabled people, the ill and the elderly, mainly outside their home.

Eigen Thuis npo has 81 members of staff. The main focus of its work is the independence and self-sufficiency of the residents. The majority of the residents are wheelchair-bound and their clinical state is evolving, so the requirements in the housing units also have to evolve.

The present Eigen Thuis housing facility and the community centre are planned for a residential area with the aim of improving integration. The building now appears no longer to meet this objective. For this reason Eigen Thuis envisages a new building on the same site, and its setting, organisation and design should serve the client’s mission as best it can. This new building should fit into a future vision for the whole site, where in future other organisations may possibly also offer their care services.

Eigen Thuis starts out from the view that each form of housing on its site aims to make the residents’ daily life and individual life-projects possible and advance the social integration and emancipation of the residents.

The key words in this project are accessibility, self-sufficiency, sustainability, domesticity, openness, flexibility and solidarity.
