The project is a multi-functional facility located in the Versailles neighbourhood of Brussels. The site was formerly an underground parking lot, with its roof serving as a public open space. The goal of our proposal was to preserve this public aspect as much as possible while creating a new building open to the city.

 

With the aim of strengthening and centralizing the range of services and facilities in Versailles, this project brings together a set of functions within an inter-neighbourhood facility hub. The hosted functions complement those already present in the surrounding area and seek to create a central gathering place for Versailles.

 

The new building serves as a “house of the neighbourhood,” hosting learning spaces for unemployed people, areas for children’s activities, spaces for the staff of the municipality, as well as sports facilities and offices.
