transformation of the Warocqué Institute into a secondary school

The conversion of the former 19th-century Warocqué Institute into a contemporary secondary school carefully reveals historic spaces while integrating discreet, reversible interventions. Organised around a central core of collective spaces, the project creates a vibrant educational heart open to the park and the city, combining heritage restoration with a sustainable and circular design approach.
