Evergreen
Ever since our foundation in 1972 have we been frontrunners when it comes to quality and sustainability. With our new company building we look forward to the next 50 years!
‘Evergreen’, a green contribution of considerable size
While working on the design and execution of the brand new ‘Evergreen’ offices & workshop we had one goal in mind: to develop a green and sustainable building that would herald a new era for Vorsselmans. An era in which we take the lead when it comes to our company culture and façade construction.
The entire building is a celebration of sustainability: aluminium external cladding, circulair building materials, solar panels, an electric fleet, the use of green walls to capture Co2 and an automatic ventilation system with interactive vertical sliding windows. We also applied advanced HVAC technology and heating by geothermal heat pumps.
Vorsselmans Café
On the second floor you can find the cafeteria, which is in fact a multifunctional space. The ‘Vorsselmans Café‘ is also located here. There are 10 vertical sliding windows that will open by pressing one simple buttton. This creates a strong connection between the inside and outside. These unique sliding windows were developed with Reynaers.
Green walls
The 200m2 of green walls are also a notable feature of this project. This was a collaboration with Ecoworks, and one of the biggest green wall projects in the Benelux. The construction behind the green walls is made of repurposed window and façade profiles. We also teamed up with a beekeeper to create a local bee population.
The project already has an effect when it comes to employer branding, especially the visibility and the green character of the building attract many spontaneous applicants.
Local partners
It was a conscious choice to work with local partners. “The project was done with a construction team that was chosen based on quality and trust. We believe that this way of working has the best results.”
