Parking Esplanade Woluwe
project for MODULO architects
The site of the Saint-Luc Hospital in Woluwe lacks parking capacity resulting in traffic jams, parking violations and missed doctor’s appointments. To resolve these problems, the existing parking esplanade was extended, doubling in size and capacity.
The parking has two underground levels and an outside parking area. Two outdated entrances were replaced by a new spacious entrance and two superimposed ramps. Visitors are welcomed by a brand new parking lounge which houses a counter, ticket machines and a new elevator.
The new extension is situated next to a protected ‘natura 2000’ site. A special effort was made to protect the wildlife. The parking’s water management system helps to prevent flooding in the downstream parts of the natural park. Special LED-lighting was used to reduce light pollution and to protect migration bats.

Bank office, Dworp
project for MODULO architects
Dworp is a small picturesque town close to Brussels. At the central square, opposite the church, a 250 year old building was transformed into a modern bank office.
Due to its age and to some improvised former renovations, the structure was in a very bad shape. An extensive renovation was needed to restore the building in its former glory. After reinforcing the foundations, the inside was stripped, replacing all the floors between the basement and the attic. The outdate façades were thoroughly renovated as well.
The first floor was transformed in a spacious apartment with a direct link to the garden.
