A mixed-use district designed as a climate-conscious landscape.
Located next to Liège-Guillemins station, Paradis Express is a large-scale eco-district combining offices (≈21,000 m²), housing, co-living, coworking, retail, services, and a nursery within a dense urban block.
Instead of composing a collection of buildings, the project establishes a spatial and ecological framework.
The historical parcel structure is reinterpreted into a checkerboard grid that organizes volumes, programs, and open spaces. Buildings vary in height to follow the topography between the Meuse valley and Cointe hill, ensuring continuity with the skyline.
At ground level, a network of plazas, patios, diagonal paths, and planted clearings creates a porous landscape where public and private spaces interlock. Green “dunes” absorb rainwater, regulate microclimates, and extend the natural geography of Liège into the site.
Architecture becomes legible through use: residential volumes express domesticity with loggias and balconies, while office façades reveal structural grids tuned to daylight and orientation.
All buildings meet Passive House and NZEB standards, reducing energy demand by up to 60% and embedding long-term adaptability through structural grids and reversible systems.
The project does not impose form.
It sets conditions—for climate regulation, social interaction, and urban life to emerge over time.
Not a development—
but a framework for a living city.
