Rue des ailes

Programme: The programme consists of the renovation of a shop into a dwelling, with : 1 bedroom and an adjoining bathroom, an exterior space in the interior of the block with attention to the permeability of the floors. It is also specifically requested that the interior fittings comply with standards relating to people with reduced mobility.

About: For the Contrat de Quartier Durable Pogge, the Schaerbeek Social Real Estate Agency ( ASIS ) is supporting a renovation-rental operation that consists of transforming commercial ground floors into housing for low-income households. Here we have proposed a simple renovation that is accessible to people with reduced mobility. The back of the plot is laid out as a courtyard to let in light through a large bay window in the bedroom and bathroom. The work on the front facade proposes a play with the old shop window, with the use of fixed frames on the one hand, and a moucharabieh in combination with the sash, on the other hand. The modenature of the new facade, with its alternating white and red bricks, harmonises with that of the upper floors and pays tribute to the Schaerbeek facades.
