Project details

In the context of the public/private partnership Cityline sa (citydev.brussels and ImmoBAM - C.E.I. De Meyer), the site of the former depot of the De Lijn public transport company in Anderlecht was repurposed.
The existing building on this 2-hectare site was renovated, and the rest of the site was occupied by buildings for mixed use, consisting of 15 000 m² of affordable housing, 9 400 m² of business premises and 9 000 m² of underground car parking.
The implementation of the project illustrates the links between town planning and architecture both in the management of the mix of functions and via its architectural integration into the neighbourhood and the recreation of a dialogue between the buildings, the green open spaces and the surroundings, opening the way to new social practices.
