RUE HAUTE

Circular renovation for social housing and retail location: Brussels | client: public, CPAS (OCMW) | program: 3 social housing / atelier and commercial groundfloor / collective garden | surface: 800 m2 | budget: 1,5M euros | project: 2020 | phase: on-going, sketch design | in collaboration with ATELIER 4/5 This renovation/extension project meets the “sustainable building” objectives of the Contrat de Quartier Les Marolles. Our starting point is the conservation of heritage and structurally reliable elements (= keeping them in place) and the recycling of materials and elements that have to be demolished (= reuse on site) in order to “remove the word WASTE” from the renovation process. Thus, we keep all brick vaults, visible at the ground floor, as well as the facades which will be restored to their original state. Bricks from demolished elements will be re-used to create a continuous floor covering on the ground floor. The program itself emphasises the importance of “reuse” by integrating an educational workshop on ground floor for the collect /repair & resale of household appliances, also aimed at social and professional reintegration. The ground floor is a large, dynamic plateau with a covered alley (historic passage) allowing independent access to the dwellings on the upper floors and to the rear garden, collective service areas and a largely glazed commercial space (showroom-workshop-kitchenette) accessible from the street. On the upper floors, for the dual-aspect apartments, there is a night zone towards the street and a day zone around a patio and towards the garden, while for the duplex, there is a vertical separation between day and night zones. We propose several layout floorplans and spatial qualities, with a maximum of comfort and natural light and a minimum of promiscuity. This allows great freedom of adaptation at all levels, to meet current and future needs, sensitive to social balance.
