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.
The old mansion in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre had already been completely dismantled inside when JUMA architects were asked to renovate and expand it.
Actually, JUMA architects was already the second architect. The previous architect had dismantled the building and had already carried out many structural works. However, the client was not satisfied with the design and JUMA architects were asked to redraw the project. As a result, JUMA architects also had to carry out a lot of structural works first. With the exception of the foundations and the pool tub, the entire rear structure was demolished again.
The client is living in one of the rare well-kept laborers houses in the garden city in Brussels. The house was really small and needed more relation with the garden. Inspired by the many concrete fences and garden houses in the suburb, we build a concrete enlargement to the house. The extension brings the house an extra living space for dining, sitting, and storage. It opens the house to the garden and is integrating to the neighbour by reducing it’s height. Inspired by the white and dark existing steel windows, the new windows and glazed doors get also a dark frame with small opening parts. Building connections are accentuated in the interior : wooden frames around windows, black tiles in the floor between old and new.
Flores & Prats + Ouest Architecture win the competition to renovate the Ancien Théâtre des Variétés in Brussels, Belgium, converting it into an International Laboratory for Artistic Creation conceived as an open, inclusive public space.
Transformation of a former orfevery towards an environment for habitation and work. One day the site was silted up. Due to partial demolitions, it obtained a larger permeability which means that each of the spaces was provided with plenty of air and light. This allows the transformation into live and working spaces. The redevelopment contains a privacy gradient between public boulevard, semi- public courtyards, private lofts and gardens.
This large secondary school campus is located 90km east of Brussels. The new development comprises a new classroom building, a technology centre and a sports hall.
The 3 storey classroom building is located to one side of the main playground at the front of the campus, providing a greater sense of enclosure and creating a new point of arrival. With a total area of 2000 m², the building includes a reception, an open learning centre, laboratories and classrooms, along with offices for administration.
As one of the world leaders in financial and business services, Deloitte is also a trailblazer when it comes to innovative, contemporary working culture. It’s no wonder, then, that their new building at the Brussels Airport site in Zaventem would become a reflection of what the company stands for. It’s an international melting pot, where work and leisure go hand in hand and where flexibility, communication and versatility are key words.
Jaspers-Eyers Architects, which has extensive experience in designing contemporary work environments, took up the challenge for developers Codic and Immobel. The challenge was to transform abstract concepts into tangible architecture that is firmly grounded in the present and future. Architecture with respect for the existing complex, which is partially renovated. The result is both sober and imposing, a modern giant with one eye on the landing strip and the other on Zaventem.
In 1976 architects Jean and Veronique Boland-Springal designed and built a row house for themselves in the sleeping quarters in Brussels. Even though owners changed several times and the building went through several maintenances, main spaces and architecture stayed the same. The dwelling is organized into 6 levels, which creates compelling spaces, engaging perspectives and connects street and inner-courtyard on different levels. Building framework is from monolithic concrete columns and slabs and is compressed in a 5m gap between masonry brick walls. Bay windows with an open concrete structure framework are duplicated in the interior spaces. Meanwhile, the captured representation was oppressing – everything was painted in various colors and enclosed with diverse materials, which were physically and morally worn out.
Danish architects COBE and Belgian architects BRUT reveal the winning design for Place Schuman in Brussels, Belgium. Located in the heart of the European Quarter, in between the main institutions of the European Union, Place Schuman constitutes the entrance to the EU. The project transforms a heavily trafficked roundabout into an urban space and meeting point. Inspired by the shape of the European Parliaments’ hemicycle, a reflective roof covering an urban agora unites all citizens and institutions of the EU and transforms the European Quarter from a city for cars into a city for people.
