St. Lucas School of Fine Arts

The St. Lucas School of Fine Arts, located at Ingelandgat 39 in Ghent, Belgium, was designed by XDGA and completed in 2013. The atelier building features a series of stacked horizontal boxes, alternating between opaque and translucent materials, providing natural light to the studio spaces. These boxes are rotated to align with the urban context, creating a monumental span between two existing buildings. The design emphasizes the interplay between solid and transparent volumes, integrating the new structure with its surroundings. (divisare.com)
