Between Zenne and Zeekanaal, on the 4 Fonteinen site in Vilvoorde, Matexi is building a unique landmark consisting of 70 spacious apartments with generous terraces with splashing water views spread over 7 floors. The timeless and refined architecture of the Waterzicht building was designed by the renowned architectural firm Kempe Thill from Rotterdam. It is characterized by high ceilings and large glass panes that let in plenty of daylight.
The ensemble of 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, penthouses and modern townhouses are sustainably heated by means of a ground/water heat pump coupled to a BEO field. Condensing gas boilers provide backup and peak power. In addition to the heat distributed throughout the building by means of a combilus, cold water from the ground is also distributed via a separate circuit. This allows floor cooling to be realized with which the houses can be cooled without compressor cooling and with which the soil can be balanced in the summer period. For ventilation there are individual air groups type D with heat recovery and complete bypass.
Furthermore, the apartments and houses all have individual PV installations. Sufficient charging points for electric cars are provided in the parking lot. Rainwater is maximally reused for toilet flushing. Any excess rainwater will be infiltrated on private property with an emergency overflow to De Zenne.
Vlaanderen besliste dat vanaf 2026 enkel nog fossielvrije bedrijfswagens – volledig elektrisch of op waterstof – fiscaal aftrekbaar zullen zijn. Een leasewagen op diesel of benzine zal voor 0% aftrekbaar zijn. Daarnaast moeten gebouwen die niet voor bewoning bestemd zijn en een minimaal aantal parkeerplaatsen hebben, tegen 2025 of bij nieuwbouw of ingrijpende renovatie zelfs onmiddellijk laadpalen voor elektrische voertuigen voorzien.
In today's rapidly changing world, managing real estate is more challenging than ever. The industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, confronting unique obstacles and changes that require our full attention and adaptability.
The decision to make a building intelligent is best made as early as the concept phase of a construction or renovation project. Yet technology can also be integrated incrementally afterwards. While this approach requires an accurate inventory of the possibilities, followed by a conscious choice of focal themes.
