Rezoning of Leuven City Hall

This project concerns the restoration and repurposing of Leuven's historic Town Hall located in the project area bounded by Grote Markt, Naamsestraat and Boekhandelstraat.

Starting in 1433, a full-fledged Grand Place emerged in Leuven surrounded by three prestigious public buildings: Town Hall, Tafelrond and St. Peter's Church.

Five hundred years later: The German army sets the famous university library ablaze and lays the Grand Place in ruins. Fortunately, the town hall is spared. The Grand Place acquires a well-kept "reconstruction architecture" according to the style rules of the city commission.

2020: The design team with FELT, Anno architects, BAS and Ingenium is restoring and repurposing this gem of Leuven's Grand Place. In constant consultation, we weigh which technical interventions the building can handle. We define comfort values in consultation with the user and match this comfort to the possibilities of the space. This in order to keep the impact on the monumental character as limited as possible. At the same time we ensure that the city hall becomes more sustainable. Initially, we want to improve the shell in order to switch to energy-efficient low-temperature systems (e.g. heat pumps).
