A flexibel masterplan for the future developments in the west of Lommel and a design for a business hotel with a health resort.In the west of Lommel a big area is waiting for the Iron Rhine, the railway connecting Antwerp with the Ruhr Area, starting to be developed as an industrial and logistic area. The proposed masterplan shows a hard border between the landscape to be maintained and the area to be developed.
The proposed masterplan interweaves both. In the landscape purification of the waste water of the industry can take place, slowly creating a natural lake in the landscape. As long as the new areas are not developed, the proposition is to use the area as a tree plantation. Once the developments start, the trees inside are removed, leaving the outside as a green screen. This creates natural chambers in which the developments get built.
The icon of this new development will be a business hotel with a health resort. The hotel is placed at the originated lake. In the building, nature is lifted on a slope through the building. The program of the resort is connected to this slope. The public functions of the hotel are pilled around the central entrance hall. The corridors to the rooms are like streets that end in this central space. By using one of the 4 elevators the hotel guest can easily access the health resort.
This project was the graduation project of David Dooghe as an architect, his mentor was Livia de Bethune, his studio mentor Erik Van Daele

With the project New Alliances, David Dooghe graduated as an architect at the Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst, Sint-Lucas, Gent, Belgium.
The project New Alliances is a flexible master plan for the future developments in the west of Lommel and a design for a business hotel with a health resort.
The jury was charmed by the flexibility of the master plan and the possible landscape development it brings. Not only the master plan, but also the building interweaves nature and business, this by bringing the landscape in the icon building and combining the landscape with the program of the health resort. The jury further liked the fact that the hotel creates the image of a small dense vertical city, by the specific positioning of the hotel program around the central hall. By choosing for this density and by lifting the program to higher levels, optimal views on the surrounding landscape were created.
David’s mentor was Livia de Bethune, his studio mentor Erik Van Daele.
During his study architecture the focus of David Dooghe’s optional subjects was on urban and landscape design.
