Herman Teirlinck Office Building

Professional Work | In Collaboration With Neutelings Riedijk Architects (Completed) [Brussels - Belgium -2017]

The Herman Teirlinck Office is located along the canal on the Tour & Taxis site, one of the last large-scale development locations in the heart of Brussels. The sinuous shape of the building creates a varied building volume that blends into the urban blocks along the Haven Avenue. The design deliberately chooses a sustainable low-rise building of only six layers with large horizontal floor fields on a human scale. 

The Herman Teirlinck building is organised around an internal street in the longitudinal axis of the building. All public functions for employees, such as the restaurant, auditoriums, exhibition space and meeting centres can be found on this internal street with two public gardens and integrated works of art. On the higher levels, the office floors are situated around two large greenhouses. This creates a compact and bright building with plenty of natural light. The building has achieved the highest sustainability scores in Belgium.
