8 BUILDING This highly prominent building is a well-known Brussels landmark. CONSTRUCTION Robert Goffaux designed Bastion Tower in 1965 in the Postmodern style. It was the city s first skyscraper, standing 25 floors high. He used natural Pierre de Chauvigny stone, beautifully finished with Assione granite between its windows. Bastion Tower was extensively modernized by Aldo Sanguinetti in 1995, with particular emphasis on IT integration, security, airconditioning and lighting, transforming the property into a grade A modern office space. The Brussels authorities renewed Bastion Tower s environmental permit in UPCOMING INVESTMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS In more recent times, measures such as the complete overhaul of the building s eight elevators, the upgrading of its HVAC system including new cooling and regulation devices, the introduction of CCTV in the lobby as well as under ground level have all contributed to the improvement of the building s efficiency and security. In addition, Bastion Tower is now equipped to accommodate electric vehicles. A forthcoming façade renovation is currently under consideration. CURRENT TENANTS Bastion Tower is proud to be home to a wide range of firms, a fact that attests to its commitment to diversity. The longeststanding tenant is a multinational law firm. The other tenants include major global financial and petrochemical corporations, worldwide recruitment agencies, several dynamic start-ups and an embassy. 6

CURRENTLY UNDERWAY A New Base for Bastion Tower Bastion Tower commissioned the firm MDW Architecture with the task of completely rethinking the building s base.

30 CURRENTLY UNDERWAY A New Base for Bastion Tower Bastion Tower commissioned the firm MDW Architecture with the task of completely rethinking the building s base. The proposals submitted by the architects to form a coherent transition between the public space of Bastion Tower s square and the reception area enabled the building to renew its positioning within the surrounding urban context and to reinforce its presence within Brussels. Design: Atelier trois Photography: Alex Cretey Systermans, Arnault de Giron, MDW Architecture, Smith & Mauer, Shutterstock Our firm proposes to upgrade the ground level floor, the two squares situated on either side of the tower and the metro station exit. The building will then form part of an urban pedestrian zone whose attractiveness will have been enhanced. The lower section of the tower will open out onto the city thanks to the fully transparent space and the continuity in the materials used. The fully refurbished lobby will be home to a prestigious, two storey-high reception area. Xavier De Wil, Partner Architect MDW Architecture For further information visit: 28
