Middelkerke's new casino won the leading International Architecture Award 2022 before the building was even built.

A casino and event space will be built on Middelkerke's dyke in February 2018. The new building will also include a hotel, multifunctional event space, restaurant and underground parking. An ocean-view casino is scheduled to open in December 2023.

Design casino Middelkerke

The unique design of the Nautilus Casino and Hotel Building was created through a collaboration between Construction Team Oz, Landscape Architect Delva and the building's architect ZJA. It is located on the other side of the seawall from other buildings. The design of this site is unique and no buildings will be erected. Instead, we are creating a landscape with a building by combining both concepts. Because the hotel is located in a natural environment, it is considered special. Project manager Leo ten Wolde explained.

Mayor Jean-Marie Dedecker is delighted to receive the International Architecture Award. He sees the award as confirmation that his city's biennial architecture competition was the best option.
