Le Toison d’Or is a 9-storey, mixed-use ensemble that fronts a whole city block along the Avenue de la Toison d’Or in uptown Brussels, the most fashionable part of the city. The design creates a link between the chaotic mix of mid- and low-rise urban city blocks at a major crossroad in uptown Brussels. The organic forms of the huge V-shaped portals along the façades are not just an intrinsic part of the structure of the building but a linking element between the lower retail levels and the residential levels above.
