K&B partners: Modern family recreation center, located near the sea. The recreation center is designed for both small families (2 people) and large families (4 people or more).

The concept of housing is borrowed from the mussel, a very common mollusk in the area. The house is made mainly of wood, both in the basis of the structure and in the decoration.

The unusual shape and materials of the building will not leave you indifferent.

Rate this footbridge 1 - 10 😍

𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 (𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼) | by 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻 -

‘Tondo’ is a footbridge that connects the House of Representatives’ offices with its recent extensions, the new Forum Building, on the other side of the Leuvensestraat in the centre of Brussels. The bridge was explicitly designed as a spatial element, rather than a technical solution. Named after the tradition of the ‘Tondo’, a circular renaissance painting, it’s shaped like a ring, and tucked between the two facades. There is a generous walk around an enclosed outer space, which also functions as an escape and meeting space. At the same time, the ‘detour’ also allows the height difference between both buildings to be bridged by means of a single, accessible slope of 4%. Towards the city, the bridge shows itself as a ‘closed’ element, in the tradition of, for example, the Bridge of Sighs. Coated with mirrored panels, they reflect the facades of both the Forum building and Parliament. From closer she shows through the opening a subtle view of the passages between the two buildings. Structurally, the bridge can be described as a stiff disc, the roof, on which the floor hangs with a minimal presence of structure: a near ephemeral pavilion between the buildings. Viewed from above, however, the sculptural beam game of the structure is visible: an ‘eye’ on the world.
