Kaan Architecten and Low architecten together with Ney & Partners renovate the HQ of the National Bank of Belgium

The National Bank of Belgium has announced its plans to renovate its headquarters by 2030, aiming to create a modern and sustainable workspace that brings its staff together under one roof in Brussels. Following a public tender, the project’s design was awarded to KAAN Architecten and LOW architecten (the Statuur consortium). The NBB1 block currently consists of a collection of historical structures built over several decades, from the 1860s to the 1960s. With its uneven wings and enclosed courtyards, the existing complex is considered operationally inefficient, but its striking historic components possess significant heritage and identity value that precludes demolition. This unique structure will be transformed in a future-oriented space.

Ney & Partners is responsible for the structural engineering.
