The house
MixFunctionalist creative campus
The restored 1970s headquarters operates as a sprawling creative collective, bringing together Belgian artisan craft, communal dining, and athletic clubs.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Fifty-two Belgian makers crafted custom interiors, from salt lamps to brass counters.
Notable
The 1970s functionalist former Royale Belge headquarters, preserved with Corten steel framing.
What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
Belgian designer Lionel Jadot has transformed a functionalist office building into a destination, complete with a hotel, three restaurants, co-working space and a gym – all kitted out with bespoke design.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The property borders the Tenreuken pond and the Sonian Forest, with waterside walking trails half an hour from central Brussels.

The rooms
Rooms are outfitted with custom artisan fixtures, including bedside pendant lamps pressed from salt and sculptural hand-cast hardware.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 25-metre lap pool sits beneath coffered concrete, and a second heated pool opens onto the garden terrace.
The spa
Leather loungers rest beneath glowing walls in the salt room, and the indoor whirlpool has its own movie projection screen.
The gym and studios
Dedicated studios host tatami sessions and indoor cycling beneath neon grids. Next door, the gym floor holds Technogym equipment.
At the table
A circular ribbed bar curves through the concrete atrium, and Romeo e Gino serves Italian dishes with weekend DJ sets.
How it began
Built in 1970 for insurer Royale Belge, the cross-shaped tower sat empty until designer Lionel Jadot rallied local artisans to revive it.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
