Programme
13u00 - Gare Maritime
Welcome with a drink at Gare Maritime in Brussels – Tour & Taxis
Gare Maritime, a former goods station in Brussels, underwent a thorough renovation while preserving its historical character. The skylights, built by our group company Forzon, contribute to the pleasant indoor climate. Natural daylight is optimally utilized, and ventilation through the ventilation windows provides refreshment in the summer, making additional cooling unnecessary.
The vast inner courtyard features shops, office spaces, and a bar.
14u00 - ZIN in Noord
A look at the construction site
ZIN is the project for the conversion of the WTC Towers in Brussels.
As part of this development, we are building a greenhouse with an area of 30x60m and a height of 20m at the base of the tower. The glasshouse is characterised by an advanced architectural design, with its own automated climate system for ventilation, shading and irrigation, and integrated solar cells in the glass roof. The focus is on sustainability and harmony with the environment.
16u30 - Visit to the royal greenhouses in Laeken
Every spring, the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken open for 3 weeks. It is an excellent opportunity to discover the 19th-century magnificent architecture by Alphonse Balat, the mentor of Victor Horta, and the various plant species. The tour includes a 1.5 km walk through the greenhouse complex and offers the opportunity to admire the many plants along the way.
Thanks in part to our recent contribution to the heating system renovation, we were able to obtain some of the limited access tickets available.
19u00 - Dinner at The Hoxton Brussels
Restaurant and rooftop bar at the Victoria Tower, offering a 360° view of the city. South American warm ambiance in a cheerful color palette & soulful dishes. A new hotspot in Brussels.
