Schaerbeek Cultural Centre (SKA)

Programme

Cultural centre in an old cinema and theatre.

About

Located in a dense and vivid neighborhood of the city, the project reorganizes and connects three existing buildings, each one facing two parallel streets with different qualities. A former cinema and individual housing towards the important Chaussée de Haecht, a former theatre towards the backstreet, much more residential and intimate than on the other facade.

The new project takes advantage of the existing qualities and limits of construction and potential and transforms the whole site into a new and inspiring place open on the city, its inhabitants and direct context. We keep as much existing buildings as possible, while offering new relations and general attitude of the site towards the city.
