LIVING IN FORMER INDUSTRIAL BUILDING

As part of the Wiels-sur-Senne neighbourhood contract, the municipality of Forest wants to convert a former warehouse and office building located in the Saint-Antonius district into about 14 social housing units.

The challenge of the project is to redevelop a space that has been designed to suit the needs of a company into pleasant homes, while retaining the unique character of the building and its architecture from the seventies, and at the same time creating a connection with the public amenity and the participatory garden within the housing block.

For this assignment, the municipality of Forest is looking for a multidisciplinary design team (architecture, stability, special techniques, EPB advisor, safety coordinator).
The municipality will pay particular attention to the sustainable character of the renovation design (reuse of materials, management of rainwater, etc.).
