Brebuild-logo-RGB-FullColour Menu The Learning Expert - Brasschaat Renovation and new construction Client AG Vespa Architect Company-o Location Brasschaat The project involves the renovation and new construction of the De Leerexpert Dullingen school, as well as the renovation of the Multi Functional Center Mytyl . Depending on the target group, children with a mental and physical disability, the designers started the planning process with the smallest and most elementary school entity being the classroom. This had to excel in flexibility tailored to the specific needs of the users. Based on general questions regarding the living environment of both the users and their supervisors, it was decided to introduce “softness”, sufficient gradients and freedom of movement. The children are not in the classes by age, but by mental capacity. The positioning of the classrooms was determined in function of the exposure (stimulus) to the outside world. The classrooms support an increasing complexity, as each child evolves at their own pace.

Brebuild-logo-RGB-FullColour Menu Groenendaal College - Merksem Castle renovation Client Schools of Tomorrow Architect HUB cvba Location Merksem The Groenendaal College is located in the Groenendaal Park in Merksem. This northern sub-municipality of Antwepren forms a whole with the city of Antwerp. The park of approximately 5 hectares is located a few hundred meters from the Antwerp Ring. The castle was built in the second half of the nineteenth century for a middle-class family. In 1924, the Groenendaal domain was purchased by the Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege and a boarding school was established in the castle. From 1951 the castle has been used for educational activities. After about 60 years of intensive use, the castle was in need of a thorough renovation. Brebuild was responsible for a surface area of 2,447 m² to be renovated, including on the ground floor and floor -1: large multi-purpose space for the entire campus that will be used as both a forum and a refectory, a warm-up kitchen, meeting rooms, administrative space, an office for the director and much more. In addition, 13 new classes will be added to floors +1 and +2. An elevator shaft was installed near the entrance to the castle to make the building accessible to people with disabilities. Authentic elements such as the marble floor and the stately staircase, ornamental ceilings and decorative plasterwork were restored to their glory.
