Urban renewal in the centre of Roeselare

With 81 modern flats, 7,300 m2 of retail and office space and lots of green accents, Roelevard is more than the sum of its buildings, becoming a living experience that offers a mix of residential and business life and public space that exudes conviviality and quality. Roelevard is a breath of fresh air on Roeselare's skyline.

Innovative architecture and design

Roelevard is a visionary design by renowned Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta and local firm B2ai. The innovative architecture and timeless aesthetics combine to create a place with a distinct identity that elevates and connects the city. The flats in the LUX Tower offer phenomenal views over Roeselare, which is unique in the centre of this West Flemish city.

Urban living in harmony with nature

The project combines sustainability with all the benefits of living in a city. With green roofs as heat and water buffers and views of the surrounding green area, Roelevard brings nature to the residents' terrace.

Two buildings, one identity

Lux is a 46-metre-high tower overlooking Stationsplein. The 45 flats range in size from 75 to 135m2. The cascade of building layers creates exceptionally spacious terraces and large green roofs full of flowers and plants. The building is home to 250 m2 of retail space and most offices.

On the corner of Stationsdreef and Spoorweglaan, Bronze is a stepped building with three to five storeys. This part of the project has 36 flats (with a living area of 76 to 123m2), 850m2 of offices and 500m2 of shops. The building also has a public esplanade with a view of Stationsplein, which will develop into a great meeting place for residents, employees and passers-by in due time.

The site will also have 17 above-ground and 148 underground parking spaces, and 345 bicycle spaces.

The renowned architects of Snøhetta and B2Ai designed two buildings for Roelevard, called Lux and Bronze, with one common identity. Snøhetta has a portfolio full of superb projects, such as the Opera House in Oslo, the transformation of Times Square in New York, and the Memorial Museum at Ground Zero.
The firm's Scandinavian roots and vision of contemporary living and working are reflected in its attention to conviviality, sustainability, timeless design, and quality. Snøhetta joined forces with experienced local architectural firm B2Ai, which excels in large-scale, complex projects. Together, they have created an unrivalled synergy of architecture and environment with Roelevard.

Future-ready

Roelevard's residents and users are ready for the future. To provide them with a comfortable and ecologically responsible environment, we applied strict environmental standards and requirements. Roelevard is a completely carbon-neutral project, free from fossil fuels. Because residents and users are in the middle of the city, they don't need a car that often.

Sustainable techniques

Thanks to the connection to the MIROM district heating grid, conventional boilers are useless in this development, resulting in significant savings on energy bills, mitigating the environmental impact, and saving space in homes. The soundproofing properties of insulating glass are conducive to a serene environment. But this glass also improves the homes' energy efficiency and overall insulation values.

Green living environment

The residents of Roelevard live in a natural setting in the heart of the city. The nine green roofs and 3,800 m2 of greenery, including 59 newly planted trees, create a visually attractive environment and contribute to a healthier microclimate. The green accents provide shade, cooling, and oxygen.

With the support of a top team of experts

The plans for these prestigious developments were created by internationally renowned architectural firm Snøhetta and local architects B2Ai. This is also the first time the Norwegian architects have co-designed a building in Belgium.

ION partnered with landscape architect Erik De Waele to develop the green spaces around the buildings, responding to local residents' demand for additional attention to Roelevard's surroundings. Water will be used sustainably, more green areas will be created, and a diverse range of plants will be integrated into the roof gardens. New trees will be planted along Stationsdreef. Roelevard will thus benefit the entire neighbourhood!
