Trebel

Located in the heart of Brussels’ European district, this emblematic building, brought to life by its ambitious architecture, houses a new set of offices belonging to the European Parliament.

The composition of each facade is optimized according to its orientation and the surrounding environment, while the entire building has a BREEAM Excellent rating, testifying to the design’s focus on sustainability and energy conservation. The building’s performance in terms of acoustics, safety and interior comfort is also excellent.

The organic shape of the building plan involved the development of numerous profiles in order to allow the facade, made up of prefabricated cells with a double thermal break, to adapt to the ever-changing angles.

The different colors of the vertical decorations adorning the exterior give the tower a different appearance depending on where the observer is standing.

An interesting fact: for the first time in the city of Brussels, the building’s heating requirements are met by a large number of deep geothermal wells.
