With its new white appearance and new tenants, MULTI has been restored to its full glory and more. The inviting building now also has a strong sustainable character, is very accessible to the public and the open space around the building is given a public character. The former black box is transformed into an urban space exchanger, a catalyst for the pedestrian zone and a connector for the public spaces in the area. MULTI is the first carbon neutral office building in Brussels and it is also completely fossil free. But most of all an enormous amount of attention was paid to circularity with a focus on the reuse of existing materials. This was initially done by preserving most of the building and renovating it. No less than 87% of existing materials could be retained: the structure, but also various materials that were used elsewhere in the project. Next to that materials were also extracted from other projects through urban mining. In the end 89% of all material in the building was circular/re-used and with the 11% added new materials the building was enlarged with almost 20%. A truly livable and lovable building that makes people smile and contributes to a happy planet!
Bio CONIX RDBM Architects was founded by Christine Conix, Jorden Goossenaerts and Frederik Jacobs. The studio has a team of 65 people operating from offices in Antwerp, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Every project is unique so we never focus on a specific building typology. Our extensive portfolio therefore includes projects in all sectors of the built environment including interior design and urban planning. We create architecture that offers added value to its users as well as to society as a whole. Our designs must be functional, flexible and aesthetic, for now and for the future.
