The new police station is robust and transparent at the same time. This is in line with the police’s wish to create a building that is both accessible and safe.

This design assignment for a mixed project (two separate programs, a pursuit of shared use and a threefold interpretation as a place to live, work and play) on the site of Bergensesteenweg 409 contributes to this dynamism. The new fire station will be the connecting element between the neighborhood behind and the quays along the water. Continue reading Bovenbouw . Label
