The Dossche Mills silo is located at the edge of the city and the port. In the Kempeneiland-Asiadok-Oost-Zuid (KAOZ) synthesis plan, the silo is preserved as valuable heritage. The project aims to explore the feasibility and reintegration of the silo building into the Innovative City Port development plan and to establish a framework for this. The silo contains various elements considered valuable or interesting enough to support its repurposing. Two scenarios were developed for how the silo could be reused, taking these elements into account. Both scenarios include a head and roof floor with collective or public access. In the first scenario, the volume is optimized for use by inserting floor plates into the body of the silo. With four new floor plates, the body is divided into workshops for manufacturing companies of up to 200 m². These could include woodworking workshops, steel workshops, fab labs, sewing ateliers, diamond cutting, or design studios for lighting fixtures. These are double-height, multifunctional spaces where mezzanines can be installed. In the second scenario, the body is left unfilled, and the structural quality of the multi-meter-high vertical walls is emphasized. The public function is placed at the base, reusing part of the silo infrastructure. One or possibly two functions are considered. This minimal intervention is described as adding at least one additional floor plate above the silo space already used by the activity at the base. On this or multiple floor plates, a manufacturing workshop or fab lab can be housed, using the verticality of the silo to give the user space a distinct identity.
