Situated at the edge of a dense urban area and a railway plain, BridgeCity aims to revitalize a heterogeneous site with an industrial past.

A gateway to Rue Navez and a landmark for users of Boulevard Lambermont and rail commuters, the new development will host a variety of functions: workshops and offices for work and production, a supermarket, two distinct housing typologies, and spaces for socializing and relaxation. Strategically layered, these functions will foster social cohesion while ensuring optimal connectivity and efficient flow management.

Through a thoughtful interplay of sizes and volumes, combined with visual permeability enhanced by greenery, the project will create a harmonious transition between the dense Brussels plot and an open 180° panorama. The block's layout is organized around the site’s historical landmarks, including the former electric station buildings and the silhouette of the ironworks sheds, which will shape the project’s architectural identity. Additionally, the dismantling and reuse of Sozyone’s raven graffiti on one existing building, alongside varied brickwork facades, will introduce a unique visual character to the project.

The planted oasis at the heart of the development will serve as a true green lung for all residents, linking the collective spaces within an island of freshness. The openings, clearings, and flow “to and from” the city will extend the continuity of the tree-lined corridor into the public space.

With open views of Parc Royal, Laeken Church, and the northern quarter skyline, this diverse former site will soon be transformed into a peaceful haven in harmony with its environment, history, and natural surroundings.
