Working, living & culture: these are the plans for the Bruges government building

The city has issued an urban planning certificate for the renovation. The building will house offices, meeting rooms and 26 apartments. In addition, there will also be a restaurant, a bar and an exhibition and event space.

Sustainably converted

The building will not be demolished. The existing facade panels are reused. The ground floor and upper floor will be accessible to the public. The site was part of the protected cityscape ‘Markt & Burg’.

At the moment the building has been temporarily transformed into an artist studio ‘De Tank’.
