Reconversion of Proximus Tower - Radar

Affordable housing doesn't have to mean small and compromised. The research proposes a spatially generous approach to housing in the Proximus Tower, combined with long-term sustainability thinking and new possibilities for the façades.

The reserach outlines the vision for the reconversion of the Proximus Tower in the Brussels North area, focusing on how verticality and mixed-use can coexist harmoniously. It emphasizes the goal of creating continuity between floors while respecting the historical significance of the twin towers, likened to Fred and Ginger dancing together.

A key aspect of the project is the spatially generous approach to affordable housing, coupled with long-term sustainability considerations and potential improvements to the building's facades. The research culminated in a detailed report designed to inspire an operational strategy for future developments, aiming to move beyond the specific characteristics of the Proximus Tower to create innovative urban solutions.
