                    ARCHITECTURAL REVAMP
                    Hasselt’s new, decidedly modern city hall,
                    nicknamed “‘T scheep” (the ship) by its inhabitants,
                    offers a fresh view of the city thanks to its sloping
                    facade sheathed in glass. An ingenious fusion of old
                    and new, the European Property Awards winner in
                    the heart of the city offers an original experience,
                    and has been awarded the BREEAM certificate of
                    excellence.

                    This 18,000m  building is the result of a collaboration
                               2
                    between Jaspers-Eyers & Partners, UAU Collectiv
                    and Michel Janssen (Architectenbureau).
                    The reflective surface of the slanted cladding
                    overlooks the old police station providing a unique,
                    constantly moving spectacle depending on the time
                    of day.
                    On the inside, a breath-taking panoramic view of
                    the city sets the tone for the offices. On the outside,
                    the base of the building is clad in bronze while the
                    interior is mostly wood and felt.  The key words
                    here are warmth and intimacy. In the same esthetic
                    vein, the solar panels and geothermal installation
                    ensure the building is almost totally autonomous
                    when it comes to energy consumption.
