The site lies to the north of Brussels in a rapidly changing industrial zone. The initial study to create a shopping centre, initiated by a private developer, resulted in an analysis of the quartier as a whole, becoming a general development plan for the town. It was within this overall context that a high-capacity retail complex was conceived. Planning constraints limit buildings to a footprint of no more than 3,500 square metres, resulting in six separate entities laid out on a common pedestal base, with car parks and covered streets running between them.

After four decades of use, this building in the Brussels Léopold district required extensive renovation. With underground parking on six levels, a three-storey pedestal and 14 floors of office space, it offered excellent functionality but all the interior fittings had aged and worn. These were all redesigned with the greatest care. Public areas, in particular the sports and fitness centre in the pedestal, were given new finishings, the effect of new materials and lighting totally rejuvenating the building.

Located along the N7, in the Park that houses the small thermal spa of Pougues-Les-Eaux, the new casino, planetarium, general-purpose room and bar-restaurant project comes across as a kind of contemporary "Folly". The latter, as does an entrance into the town, runs alongside those of the thermal establishment.

Car park landscaping and the use of natural wood, ventilation and climate control are added to energy recycling and wastewater and rainwater management to make this new building a shining example of the HQE approach.
