Maxwan was commissioned by VITO, the Flemish institute of technology, to develop an architectural vision for a mixture of offices, laboratories and a geothermal plant on the Balmatt site in Mol, BE.

Maxwan aims to unlock the full potential of this six hectare brownfield site by interweaving buildings, public spaces and landscapes to reflect VITO’s role as a high-end research institute in the field of ecological and economical technology.
