Located on one of Molenbeek’s most vibrant squares, Parvis Saint-Jean-Baptiste, this architectural project features a six-story building with five apartments and a commercial space on the ground floor.
The apartments are designed to offer spacious, light-filled interiors while ensuring privacy: living areas face the square for unobstructed views, and bedrooms are situated at the rear for quiet and tranquility.
A central technical core houses bathrooms, a distributive hallway and service shafts. The first-floor apartment enjoys exclusive access to a generous vegetated roof terrace with deep soil for planting, while other units have rear balconies, and the top-floor duplex boasts private front and rear terraces.
The project meets the latest energy efficiency standards through heat pumps, underfloor heating, photovoltaic panels, rainwater harvesting, and triple-glazed windows, enhancing both sustainability and comfort.
Urban integration is carefully considered: the façade’s design, with its distinctive vertical joint and varied window rhythms, reduces visual mass and echoes the neighborhood’s Brussels-style houses, while materials and colors align with local regulations.
The ground floor combines an open commercial space with a private entrance featuring a semicircular door, and the upper windows are topped with decorative transoms to reinforce the façade’s duality. The result is a harmonious blend of modern living and respect for the area’s architectural heritage.
