Projektbeschreibung
Gare Maritime, once Europe’s largest railway station for goods on the Tour & Taxis site in Brussels, has been transformed into a covered city with a mixed program of working and shopping and plenty of public space to relax. Under impressive steel roofs, Neutelings Riedijk Architects designed the new Gare Maritime as a City District; ‘a city where it never rains’.
Public gardens and squares
The building dates from the beginning of the 20th century. Under the roofs of the side aisles, twelve wooden pavilions have been added to accommodate the new program. They create a new structure of boulevards and street, parks and squares that follows the urban context and the building structure in a natural way. The central space in the heart of the building has been kept open for public events. On both sides of the event space the green walking boulevards are wide enough to plant ten large gardens.
Largest CLT-project in Europe
The new pavilions have been constructed in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), with an enormous reduction in the amount of cement as a result. The choice for wood also had a favorable effect on the construction process: thanks to prefabrication and the dry constructing method, the construction time was considerably shorter.
State-of-the-art in sustainability
Gare Maritime is entirely energy neutral and fossil free. The glass facades on Picardstreet are provided with solar cells and 17,000 m2 of solar panels have been installed on the roofs. At all levels far-reaching sustainability measures have been implemented, such as geothermal energy and reuse of rainwater.

Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
Gare Maritime ist ein einzigartiges Stadterneuerungsprojekt, das einen ehemaligen Güterbahnhof in ein äußerst nachhaltiges neues Forum zum Leben, Essen, Arbeiten, Spielen und Lernen umgewandelt hat. Es umfasst 30.000 Quadratmeter Bürofläche, 10.000 Quadratmeter Einzelhandelsfläche, 2.500 Quadratmeter Food & Beverage-Fläche (Lebensmittelhalle mit Speisen- und Getränkeangebot), 7.500 Quadratmeter Ausstattungsfläche sowie weitere Flächen wie Veranstaltungsräume. Das von den Architekten Neutelings-Riedijk neu gestaltete Gebäude wird der neue Mittelpunkt des gesamten Tour & Taxis-Geländes sein. Die Umsetzung und die Ergebnisse des Projekts Gare Maritime sind ein Beispiel für kreisförmiges Bauen. Die Integrität des jahrhundertealten Industriegebäudes wurde bei der Sanierung bewahrt, während seine Funktion mit Blick auf Langlebigkeit modernisiert wurde.
