Environmental Incubator, Workshops and Offices rue Lefèvre in Brussels.

About

Located on a long-abandoned and polluted 4-hectare industrial site near the city center, BRUSSELS GREENBIZZ is part of a large-scale 14-hectare urban development called TIVOLI, publicly funded by European FEDER funds and CITYDEV. TIVOLI includes both housing (+/-450 units) and economic facilities in which GREENBIZZ (12.000sqm) holds the pivotal role.

It includes workshops for environment-oriented businesses and spin-offs (low-energy), an incubator (nzeb) and office space (passive), plus an array of extra amenities open to the public including exhibition space and café. Two principal volumes (phases I and II) articulate a new public plaza offering transition between the more industrial quartier south and the more urban and residential one north. Sitting in limbo between these apparently opposed activities, the project’s role is to create synergy: encouraging visitors as well as occupants, confirmed specialists as well as budding pioneers-to-be, adults as well as children to be part of the collective emulation housed within. GREENBIZZ’s dynamic, generous, and permeable organization, its mission to create responsible employment, and its clearly expressed sustainable identity all carry the same message: sustainable design can and must be about much more than implementing energy-efficiency and responsible material-sourcing … sustainable design must be about implementing hope.
