We had a great time working with these 6th graders on the future of their town center. Such a different perspective and amazing how serious some of them took the questions and tasks we gave them.
Great turnout last week for our first session with the neighbors of the future development in Leuven. Lots of fair concerns and many inspiring ideas to fuel the coming design sessions. See you in a few months!
The team with BRUT in collaboration with 3E, Mint and LAMA was selected to develop a masterplan and energy concept for a climate neutral neighborhood in Louvain. Sustainable buildings, ample green open space, smart mobility and a climate neutral energy system will be combined into an ambitious pilot project for the city. We are looking forward to a creative process with the City of Leuven, KU Leuven, Dijledal and the local community!
Happy to share our experiences in the Nieuw Zuid neighbourhood during a site visit of the Scheldezicht tower, organized by the Flanders Architects’ Network (NAV). Thanks for the great turnout, lively discussions and interest in our ‘vertical city life’ concept.

BRUT wins together with C.F. Møller the Open Call for the “Nieuwe Stad” in Ostend! The winning proposal for this new neighbourhood of 500 homes aims to become a model project for densification on a human scale by focusing on a sustainable urban design with innovative housing typologies and the introduction of a strong sense of community.
