这个计划的一部分是为了重建19世纪后期的杜蒙特邻里，以比利时建筑师阿尔伯特·杜蒙（Albert Dumont）命名，1995年被佛兰芒遗产委员会列为受保护的城市景观，因为它展示了花园城市概念的乡村解读。
整个季度包括数十个分散的折中别墅，穿过沙丘，形成一个超现实的景观。在一栋高大的沙丘顶部的别墅中，别墅星之前曾经是利奥波德二世国王的朋友朱尔斯·里拉尔教授所有。在他去世后，别墅倒塌了，1959年，土地和别墅的遗体变成公园。
随着时间的不断恶化，该地区变得眼花缭乱，促使当地议会启动了再生计划.MEGVING被选中准备再生计划，最终被委托给Villa Star遗址周围的公园一张新的表格。承认网站的历史和过去的痕迹，提出了要恢复旧别墅还是接受变更并争取新的东西的问题。这个本质上令人困惑的问题成为项目的灵感。
通过拒绝别墅的平原重建，而不是专注于与剩下的工作，出现了一种新的和矛盾的存在形式。一大堆现成的包裹在氧化钢面纱中的砖块一方面形成了新的存在，另一方面又加强了旧别墅的缺乏。该项目旨在探索存在和空间的歧义。它审视了我们对一个地方的期望，同时面对设计，可以扩散我们的理解，从而唤起真正的缺席感。
Part of this plan was to regenerate the late 19th century Dumont Neighbourhood, named after the Belgian architect Albert Dumont, which was in 1995 classified as a protected urban landscape by the Flemish Heritage Commission as it showcases a rural interpretation of the Garden City concept.
The entire quarter consisted of dozens of scattered eclectic villas across the sand dunes, forming a surreal landscape.Among the villas, at the top of a tall dune stood Villa Star which was previously owned by a friend of King Leopold II, professor Jules Thiriar. Following his death, the villa fell into ruin and in 1959 the land and the villa’s remains were turned into a public park.
Deteriorating through time, the area became an eyesore, prompting the local council to initiate the regeneration plan.OMGEVING was selected to prepare the regeneration plan and eventually was commissioned to give a new form to the park surrounding the ruins of Villa Star. Acknowledging the site’s history and the traces of its past, the question was raised whether to restore the old villa or to accept the changes and strive for something new. This inherently perplexing question became the inspiration for the project.
By rejecting a plain reconstruction of the villa, and instead focusing on working with what’s left, a new and contradictory form of presence was born. A purposeless pile of bricks, now wrapped in a veil of oxidised steel, on the one hand portrayed a new presence while on the other hand reinforced the absence of the old villa.The project aims to explore the ambiguities of being and space. It examines how our expectations towards a place, while confronted by design, can diffuse our understanding and consequently evoke a genuine feeling of true absence.
