Kursaal Oostende is a mythical place with a fascinating history dating back to the nineteenth century. The common thread throughout Kursaal is culture, relaxation, and encounters. All the senses have been stimulated for many years with music, dance, art, good food, entertainment, fun and the presence of the sea.
B2Ai architects, in partnership with Ingenium, Ney & Partners and Daidalos Peutz bouwfysisch ingenieursbureau, is taking on the challenge of thoroughly renovating this iconic building. We are integrating the possibility of quickly and easily transforming the current auditorium layout into a venue with a flat floor, thereby returning to Leon Stynen’s original design. With this intervention, we are preparing Kursaal Oostende to host larger events or concerts in the future, with a sea view!
