Industrial conversion with integrated photovoltaics
Refurbishment of a historic industrial building in Brussels into a mixed-use scheme, prioritising material reuse, urban integration and energy efficiency with a primary energy consumption of 42 kWhep/m²·year.
Urban model towards climate neutrality
CityGate I – Goujons advances the regeneration of an industrial neighbourhood into a mixed and inclusive enclave, comprising 35 subsidised dwellings and 1,500 m² of social and healthcare facilities, integrating passive-standard energy performance and nearly zero-energy building criteria.
When the environment shapes architecture
An office building in Pune, India, demonstrates how passive design, orientation, and natural ventilation can significantly reduce energy demand in challenging climates.
Shopping centres towards lower impact
The renovation of a shopping centre in Beijing reconfigures urban space through opening up to the exterior, landscape integration, and an architectural narrative based on light and local culture.
Recycled materials in the built environment in Louvain-la-Neuve
The conversion of a farm in Louvain-la-Neuve combines circularity, material reuse and modular design to create a social workspace with low energy consumption.
Urban reuse and shared spaces
The transformation of a former garage space in Brussels redefines the use of the inner courtyard, integrating workspaces and green areas with a focus on reuse and social cohesion.
China Overseas Building: towards zero carbon in tall offices
China Overseas Tower in Shenzhen positions itself as China’s first near-zero-energy 5A high-rise office, combining passive design, high-efficiency systems and quantified carbon savings to establish a replicable benchmark for hot summer–warm winter climates.
Architectural integration at the Paul Van Ostaijen Site, in Belgium
The former Paul Van Ostaijen monastery in Leuven (Belgium) was transformed into a CO₂-neutral complex through the integration of 155 terracotta-colored photovoltaic panels. Seamlessly blended into the historic roof, they preserve the building’s identity while enabling sustainable performance.
The Vienna State Opera turns green with integrated photovoltaic modules
A 100 kWp photovoltaic system with 260 green modules is seamlessly integrated into the historic copper roof of the Vienna State Opera. Designed to preserve its Neo-Renaissance identity, the project blends solar technology with heritage, reducing energy demand without altering the iconic skyline.
The GrünboX Case: from abandonment to urban resilience
GrünboX-Vienne transforms a disused industrial building through circular economy principles and sober design, achieving significant CO₂ and water savings while proposing a replicable model for sustainable urban regeneration.
