Transformation is underway at Oxy 🏗️ Oxy progressively reveals itself as ongoing works turn this former office building into a dynamic and contemporary space, deeply anchored within its urban context. The new modules dressing the façade, the glass canopy bringing light deep inside the building and the sculpted promenade at its base all contribute to the building's new identity.

♻️ Urban mining in actie! Het #OXY-project in Brussel laat zien hoe circulair bouwen écht werkt. Doel is om 89% van het bestaande gebouw (percentage in gewicht) te behouden. 🏗️ Dankzij de inzet van o.a. BINST ARCHITECTS, Snøhetta, DDS+, Whitewood, Cordeel Belgium en RotorDC krijgen materialen een tweede leven. 🔄 Met #hergebruik: de travertijn wandbekleding, betondallen op het dak, granieten kolombekleding, … kregen een nieuwe bestemming binnen het gebouw. 🔄 Met #recyclage: het glas van de jaren ‘70 werd opnieuw gesmolten om glas met een verminderde koolstofvoetafdruk te produceren. 🔄 Met creatieve #transformaties: de aluminium gevel werd omgevormd tot verlichtingsarmaturen. Klinkt cool. Maar de implementatie ervan brengt uiteraard uitdagingen met zich mee. Leren van elkaar is essentieel. Daarom: welke 7 lessen kunnen we hieruit trekken?

"Reuse starts before the design phase” and we couldn't agree more! Requiring a lot of time and preparatory research, reuse must be incorporated from the project's earliest stages. At DDS+, sustainability has always been at the core of our design processes, ensuring circular strategies shape our projects from the very beginning. The Oxy project is a powerful example of this approach in action. By preserving the existing building and applying urban mining, existing materials are carefully recovered and repurposed, reducing waste and environmental impact while breathing new life into a former office building. This transformation highlights how rethinking existing structures can help cities evolve sustainably—preserving their architectural identity while meeting contemporary needs.

_FR Les travaux de gros œuvre se poursuivent sur notre chantier HORNES4 dans le quartier européen à Bruxelles. Pour rappel, ce projet conçu par DDS+ pour le compte d’ e-maprod comprend la rénovation lourde d'un immeuble de bureaux avec ajout d’un niveau. Le bâtiment obtiendra un label PEB A, voire un label BREEAM « oustanding » après travaux. https://lnkd.in/eBm8Z2Sk _NL Op onze HORNES4 site in de Europese wijk van Brussel worden de ruwbouwwerken voortgezet. Dit project, ontworpen door dds+, in opdracht van e-maprod, omvat de grondige renovatie van een kantoorgebouw met de toevoeging van een nieuwe verdieping.

[Permit Obtained for Life6 ✔️] Revitalizing an iconic building in Uccle’s Lycée Français district, the Life6 project preserves a remarkable brutalist building with 1970s architectonic concrete façades while redefining its purpose. Located on a green plot, this former care home will be transformed into a residential complex with varied housing types, guided by the building’s original volumes, materials and structure. This renovation enables a new lifecycle without demolition, embedding the building’s conservation within a broader vision that treats the existing structure as a resource to be revitalized. Read more about Life6 through link in comments. A project by DDS+ with e-maprod + Herpain-Urbis + GAMACO structural engineers + SIX Consulting & Engineering s.a.
