Central Plaza

The Central Plaza is the first building of such scale to utilize double cooled facades with natural ventilation. The central volume is made up of an oval Tower with 14 floors of offices, this tower is adjacent to a triangular extension. On most of the office floors large atriums open up the space and bring light into the building. The facade in light and smooth glass covers the atriums and accentuates the oval of the original volume. The building is located in the heart of Brussels and is located near the important transit roads and attractions of the city. It is the first building in Brussels of this size to apply double cool facade technology with natural ventilation. This allows for the windows to be opened, also on the higher floors, to allow fresh air to come into the building. The building consists of a central oval shape volume with a triangular extension to the Loxumstraat. The central volume features large atriums that have been developed on different floors. Most of the office floors are connected to one or two atriums or winter gardens. The bright smooth glass of the façade add to the oval form of the building. The project features 3 underground floors, 2 of these are for parking. There are 15 above-ground floors including 14 for office use and one partial floor for the service areas. The office floors are equipped with adjustable partition walls. The ground floor interconnects with the -1 floor. Both connect to create a multi-purpose space.
