Espace Nord, Brussels, Belgium
ZIN
ZIN marks a new chapter for Brussels’ Northern Quarter, redefining the area with its bold and future-oriented hybrid design.
The ZIN project is a pioneering example of hybrid architecture, adding a new dimension to the business district. The mixed-use complex combines residential units, offices, leisure, sports, hospitality, and retail functions. A major tenant is the Flemish Government, occupying 70,000 m² of office space. Seamlessly integrated into its surroundings and enhanced by a generous public orangery, ZIN brings new life and interaction to the district seven days a week. Designed for maximum sustainability and flexibility, the project sets a strong example for adaptable urban development.
