A modest vertical accent of 60 meters makes the project recognizable in the skyline of Brussels.

It runs through the entire length of the building and aligns with the one of the Royal Warehouse.

On the upper levels the office floors are situated around four internal, transparent and green ourtyards. This creates a clear and sustainable building with lots of natural light.
