Located in the heart of Brussels, the Marivaux project aims to create a student residence in the former Marivaux cinema which was abandoned in the early 90s and has suffered many dégradations.
​
The classified elements of the building such as the front facade and the entrance hall are restored, and will be integrated in a new 8 storey project. The building will include 135 student flats, common rooms and a small indoor garden.

Located in the heart of Brussels, the Marivô project is a  student residence project in the former Marivaux cinema which was still in operation in the early  90s.

​

The classified elements of the building such as the front facade and the entrance hall are restored, and will be integrated in a new 8 storey project. The building will include 135 student flats, common rooms and an indoor garden.

​

More specifically, the  works relate to:

1. The demolition of the upper and the rear parts of the existing building while preserving the listed front façade along St. Pierre Street.
2. The restoration of the front façade as well as the existing hall and stairs.
3. The construction of :
   • 135 student flats with a kitchenette and a private bathroom
   • Common rooms (+/- 400 sqm: hall, reception, luggage room, study, breakfast and fitness)
   • Premises for the operator (+/- 150 sqm: concierge, cloakrooms, administration, archives, linen room, etc.)
   • Technical premises (+/- 250 sqm)
   • 33 cars, 2 motorcycles and 100 bicycles parking spaces on  level -1
   • A private garden

The Marivô residence is within walking-distance of public transports such as the metro stations Rogier, De Brouckère, and  Sainte-Catherine, and the project will include a bicycle parking.

​The construction of a student residence on rue Saint-Pierre will help bring back housing structures to the district, liven up the area in a controlled way, thus meeting the revitalisation and renovation objective of this part of the Pentagon, as well as the great need for high-quality student accommodation in the city centre.
