MVRDV has completed construction of Ilot Queyries, a courtyard apartment building providing 282 homes – including 128 for social housing – parking, commercial space, and a rooftop restaurant in an intimate urban setting with plenty of light, air, and a large collective green space.

This project is located alongside the West Ring Road of Brussels-Capital. It has a prime location due to its proximity to the Ring, thus illustrating the overall mobility policy of the Brussels-Capital Region. The new car park offers 1200 spaces for private cars, 150 spaces for motorcycles or shared cars and 270 bicycle spaces. It is a perfect fit with the overall vision of reducing congestion in the capital while creating a multimodal node, at the same time as increasing densification in these districts of Anderlecht by offering more sustainable mobility.

Axel Springer has launched a move from print to digital media. Its new building on the campus in Berlin acts both as a symbol and a tool in this transition – a building to lure the elite of (Germany’s) digital Bohemia.
