Mixed-Use Development Van Praet
Vuurkruisenlaan, Brussels 2021 - 2025
Near the Van Praet Bridge in Brussels, a new neighborhood is being planned between the port area and the center of Neder-Over-Heembeek. The project reshapes the volumes provided by the master plan and shifts them towards the edge of a park, allowing the park to expand significantly as a result.

Two compact 'ensembles' provide backing to the park: a school complex consisting of two schools and a sports hall, and a composition of four residential buildings. A wide variety of housing typologies—ranging from simplex to triplex, with double-height spaces, voids, and spacious terraces—are arranged around a private courtyard. Workshops are planned on the ground floor.
