The town house is located in a densely built residential area in Brussels’ busy town centre.

The original programme included the renovation of the town house on the road side and the construction of an art gallery in the courtyard. Later on the client agreed to make a second family house on the existing industrial building and thus complete the existing party wall with a perforated facade. lt on the existing industrial building completethe row of party walls.
