🏆Wintercircus, Gentse Monumentenprijs 2022

Winner professional jury and public vote!

🏆 Winter circus wins Ghent Monument Prize!
Two nominations - One winner

We are extremely pleased with the designation of the Winter Circus as the winner of the Ghent Monument Prize 2022!

Both the professional jury and the public voted the Winter Circus the winner.

The professional jury writes: "SoGent (client) realizes a multifunctional redevelopment in which the building history serves as a starting point and is accompanied by a resolute choice for a new future. ..."

The choice of the Winter Circus (*), as a restoration project - not a monument in the legal sense, confirms our initial options and years of commitment to the repurposing of this unique building based on its exceptional value.

Thank you to Sogent, client, and to their project manager, Bernard Ottevaere. And thanks also to contractor Bouwbedrijf Furnibo nv
Furnibo for the qualitative cooperation.

(*) The reallocation of the Winter Circus is a joint study project of SumProject (architecture), Baro Architectuur & VK architects+engineers (engineering) (after initial concept work led by Atelier Kempe Thill).
