Bopro guided the client in the development of the performance and circularity objectives and managed the process of choosing materials, technical systems and circular solutions. The client wanted to retrieve a maximum of materials from the existing building and therefore opted for a complete renovation. The structure and facades were preserved as much as possible.

The architecture of the existing building is a very valuable heritage, that must be protected. This requirement had an important influence on the functional (uses) and technical program of the building. Also in terms of sustainability, there was no total freedom to achieve the objectives in this building as envisaged in the new constructions. Circular principles were not limited to the reuse of materials, but other applications were also sought, such as: mixed uses that can lead to synergy, limitation of energy and water consumption, applications as a service, intelligent principles to improve the well-being of the user and optimize consumption.

Bopro was also responsible for the integration of Befimmo’s CSR strategy and the application of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the project. The project aimed to obtain a BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit Out “Excellent”. All aspects of BREEAM were monitored by Bopro.
