Casino building

Middelkerke

New anchor point on the Belgian coast


Period
Until 2023

After two years of intensive construction, Silt, the new casino building in Middelkerke, opened its doors.

After an in-depth evaluation, the municipal council has designated Nautilus construction team as the winner, a collaboration between developer Ciril, main designers ZJA (architecture) and DELVA (landscape architecture), OZ (casino and hotel design), executive architect Bureau Bouwtechniek and contractors Furnibo and Democo. They are assisted by experts from COBE, VK Engineering, Beersnielsen, Witteveen + Bos, Plantec, MINT, Demtec Services and Sertius.

In the building, the multifunctional event hall offers space for concerts, exhibitions and events. The restaurant has terraces with sea views and the casino's mezzanine also enjoys a wide view of the North Sea before players head towards the gaming room.

Not only during the day, but also in the evening the "bolder" catches the eye. The sophisticated lighting design that additionally illuminates the wooden structure of the hotel enhances the special appearance of this place.

The entire car-free public domain, which doubles in surface area opposite the existing square and seawall, puts cyclists and pedestrians first and remains easily accessible for cars through the construction of an additional underground parking garage.
