5 photo: F Dujardin photo: M-F Plissart Metal Rue du Metal Brussels The building, which has preserved the qualities of space and light of the period of its construction, now houses a sports hall, an after-school homework programme, and three moderate-rent apartments This mixed development meets the requirements set out in the "neighbourhood agreement" urban-regeneration project for the Métal-Monnaie district AgwA decided to preserve as much as possible of the powerful modernist architectural structure The two apartments are conceived as a totally independent structure hanging over the roof As the existing apartment are already conceived as a bridge-structure, the new ensemble induces a horizontal stratification of heterogeneous parts contrasting strongly with the surrounding houses In order to reinforce this contrast, and also to match sharp financial criteria, facade cladding of the new apartments is realized in transparent polycarbonate, that is also used in the large glass roofs and facades photo: M-F Plissart Project is not public!

9 photo: Marc Detiffe Cheval Noir Housing Zwart Paardstraat 16 The brief of the competition, held in 2003, was to transform the building of the former Hallemans breweries into 31 housing units for artists, including an in-house workspace On top of the transformation, a new construction was necessary to provide the needed surfaces This new wing creates space and views the courtyard and the surroundings To improve natural lighting, the upper part of the new building is withdrawn from the property limit, this allows nothern light to enter in the workshops The project seeks to integrate as much as possible all the structural and architectural elements that are characteristic of the old brewery On this inheritance background, the necessary interventions for contemporary living are clearly identified They create a dialogue with the existing building without imitating it The new openings in the old walls are radical but necessary to create a part of the new façade after demolitions or to open the southern wall Project is not public! 2010 Main designer, Atelier Gigogne l'escaut Nazar 9

10 photo: LOW architects Little Willy Vlaamsesteenweg 160 On a tiny plot, LOW architecten proposes the concept of a structure that 'overgrows' the old 19th century house LOW transforms a single house into a guesthouse and duplex penthouse The existing neoclassical building is historically valuable and will be thoroughly renovated In order to create extra room for guests, for a restaurant, shop, gallery and duplex apartment, an extension on the adjacent plot appears inevitable The various residential units are separated by extremely generous outdoor spaces such as green roofs or rooftop terraces The new volume blends in perfectly with its surroundings, yet it evokes an interesting dialogue between old and new The angle represents the transition between the different building heights of both streets The new volume is built up and cut gradually in order to create a 'light' body from a volumetric point of view This generates space for large private terraces, for views to the inner area and to the public domain Project is public! 2013 LOW s Nazar 10

11 Brussels Meeting Centre Mont des Arts 1 Its treelike structure and an aesthetic based on transparency and light, irresistibly evokes landscape architecture, takes root in history and projects the «Mont des Arts» into modernity This monumentality, mild and poetic, dialogs with the image of the garden Present and at the same time melting into the surrounding architectural landscape, it changes in materiality as the light and time of day change The entry, in the form of a large exterior auditorium, allows an entry to the base of the cube, sliding along the exposition hall under René Pechère?s renovated historic garden A terrace leads to the upper access situated on the «Esplanade du Mont des Arts» Square therefore constitutes an attractive technological jewel at the heart of the «Quartier des Arts» and consumes the transformation of an important historic site by respect for its history and ambition for its future Project is public! 2009 A2RC s Nazar 11

13 photo: architectesassoc photo: architectesassoc National Theater Boulevard Emile Jacqmain 103/109 wwwtheatrenationalbe The National Theatre is like an isthmus, circumspectly nestled into tight inner-city fabric, poised between the frantic pace of the boulevard (main entrances, ticket offices, stage door,etc) and the more tranquil one of the quiet back street where all services are organized It offers the passers-by a shimmering veil of undulating opalescent glass, transforming itself under fluctuating light and changing reflections, delicately resonating with surrounding urban vibrations Through the veil of its facade, shadows of the theater's carefully proportioned features appear, chiselled with precision: the long and dense brief called for a «grande salle», a «petite salle», and a multi-purpose rehearsal hall The foyer meanders languidly between these functions, designed as continuous open space connecting street level and rooftop's front and back sides photo: architectesassoc Project is public!
