PROJECTS
We won a competition to develop two buildings as part of a new urban block redevelopment in the heart of Bruxelles led by the visionary Christian Lasserre advised by Joanna Alimanestianu at Group AG in association with the Fondation Pour l’Architecture in Bruxelles led by Maurice Culot.
Seven teams of architects contributed to the reconstruction of this street in the historic centre of Bruxelles. Each project is unique in its stylistic references and apartment layouts yet the combination of projects makes a coherent and fresh contribution to the established urban identity of this historic quarter.
‘‘There is a real variety and harmony here that is reflected not only in the facades but also in the interiors of the buildings and the rear. If only more developers could do what AG Insurance has done by making it possible to build the winning projects...’’

‘‘This competition once again demonstrates the Foundation's commitment not only to the protection of quality old buildings, but also to ensuring that contemporary buildings are built to a comparable standard…’’
