Looking to the future, the D'Ieteren group decided to diversify its activities and renovate its headquarters, where it has been based since 1906, in a sustainable and multifunctional way for the future. The heritage value of the existing modernist building will be maximised.
One of the architectural objectives is to reduce the density of the site, which covers 67,000 m², and open up the city block in the image of an international group open to the world. The site will include offices, shops and facilities, as well as the D'Ieteren Gallery - while the garage activities have already been relocated.
On Maliestraat, the building consists of two parts: the first volume consists of a skeleton in concrete and steel, the second of pillars and floors in reinforced concrete preformed in Preflex.
The lower volume has four floors: ground floor, two underground floors and a parking floor accessible via an external ramp. This building houses the technical premises, showroom, workshop and parking.
The upper volume housing the offices has five storeys and is characterised by:
