  • The project adapts itself to the triangular crossroad it is located on.

    With their ‘‘broken geometry’’, the three volumes occupy all peaks of the triangular site. The triangle center is emptied, giving permeability on the ground floor for probable public spaces and offering every apartment views on the landscape.

    All three buildings have a privileged relation with the surrounding streets. They all host commercial spaces. All apartment accesses are from the inside courtyard of the project on the superior ground floor.

    The apartment typologies are always oriented towards the view. Rooms are therefore oriented north-east/west and living rooms and loggias south.

    The construction of the project is entirely local. The façade is made out of a stone traditional cladding.

  • NOTAN OFFICE is a Brussels based architecture practice founded in 2014 by Frédéric Karam.
    Aware of the specificity of each project, the studio often collaborates with others and works on projects in Switzerland, Lebanon, England and Belgium.

    The work of NOTAN OFFICE is socially and programmatically committed. With a rational approach, the studio boldly manipulate the established, resulting in a unique architecture.
    Whatever the scale, the approach is contextual and seeks to enhance the essence of a place, the people and their concerns in line with today’s society.

    With sustainability in mind, architecture needs to be generous and let the users make it their own.
    NOTANs projects offers sensorial experiences; from spaces to material, the projects are textural.
