Antwerp City Hall wins European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards
12.06.2025
Our project 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗵𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 is the winner in the Conservation and Adaptive Reuse category.
This exemplary restoration of a 16th-century town hall strikes a balance between structural preservation and energy efficiency, while retaining the building's original civic function. Carried out by a highly professional team, the project underlines the responsibility of local authorities for preserving and communicating Europe's shared cultural heritage.
The renovation and restoration of a building with high ambitions in terms of programme, architecture, techniques, sustainability and heritage values is a balancing act that requires special commitment, experience and flexibility from all stakeholders.
‘Our role in this process is to ensure smooth cooperation with both the client and the contractors and the efficient integration of all design ambitions.’ - Bert Van den Bergh
Congratulations to the entire team: AG Vespa, HUB, ORIGIN, Daidalos Peutz, BAS Studio, RCR and FCP.
And a big shout-out to our heritage specialist Bert Van den Bergh and fellow project architect Stephanie Van Goethem.
