PhotographyBINST ARCHITECTS
Just inside the ring road of Mons, east of the historical centre, was a piece of undeveloped land which served as a parking space for the nearby offices of BNP Paribas Fortis. Binst Architects was asked to fill in the site with an agency and private banking for BNP Paribas Fortis.
The project complements the existing building block. The two upper floors house the new offices for BNP Paribas Fortis and form the ‘final link’ that nestles in the existing fabric with a similar construction height.
This integration is reinforced by a classic vertical bays section of the pilasters and the use of traditional bricks.
The complex provides a fascinating interpretation and upgrading of the site, and functions as a new square wall near Avenue Frère Orban.
