JEUNES - 2010
Jeunes - construction of a youth center in Forest / Brussels - 2010 Client : Saint-Antoine collective agreement, Municipality of Forest Status : ongoing Team : AgwA + Ferriere + JZH & partners For this youth house in Brussels, the client is asking for large, open floors. This proves impossible to realise due to the small size of the site. Split levels minimise the impact of vertical circulations. They develop around a central core containing all technical and wet spaces. Visual and programmatic continuity is introduced between all different spaces and levels, which improves the feeling of spaciousness without compromising the possibility to isolate some of the more dedicated spaces. An independent larger polyvalent floor is situated at the street level. The elevations are horizontal striped from wall to wall, with irregular heigths corresponding the spatial, programmatic and technical contingencies. |
