Cepezed designs new headquarters for Environment Brussels
The building will be realized on the ‘Tour & Taxis’ site at the Havenlaan. The new construction will face the large-scale historic buildings of the Royal Depot and Shed-halls, which have recently been renovated and now accommodate a.o. offices, restaurants, design retail and cultural events.
The preliminary design is characterized by a compact volume beneath a curved and largely transparent roof. A central atrium has been designed as a continuation of the public domain, the first two floors are easily accessible for the general public and the building's east wing has been provided with receding patios with integrated trees and a generous view over the direct surroundings. Thus, according to the architects, the building stimulates the interaction with the rest of the Tour & Taxis-site, on which a.o. housing and a completely new municipal park will also be realized in the future.
