INAUGURATION OF SOCIAL HOUSING RUE DE L’OLIVIER
This Tuesday 2022-03-22 at 2 p.m. was held the inauguration of our project 01/616 ‘Renovation of social housing rue de l’Olivier in Schaerbeek’ in the presence of Mrs Nawal Ben Hamou, Secretary of State for Housing and Equal Opportunities in the Brussels-Capital Region, the municipal authorities, Mrs Karine Lalieux, Minister of Beliris and representatives of Beliris and the Foyer Schaerbeekois, our client.
The building erected in 1905 is the work of architect Henri Jacobs. It is listed in the inventory of the architectural heritage of the Brussels Region. The 50 existing small housing have been recombined into 30 more spacious ones, up to current standards, of 9 distinct and diversified types from 1 to 5 bedrooms (Rm) (11 x 1Rm, 1 x 2Rm, 13 x 3Rm, 2 x 4Rm, 4 x 5Rm). The project attempts to meet the challenge of making housing attractive and economical while respecting its heritage character, combining monumentality and avant-garde, and reducing its ecological footprint. The renovation includes the contributions of SAI such as and for example: mirrors in the window frames, opaline glass doors at the entrances to the apartments and the use of perforated sheet metal.
The provisional acceptance will take place soon and the first occupants should invest the premises during the month of July 2022.
