Panquin: historic new living

On the edge of the prestigious Tervuren Park, ION and PMV are developing a prestigious project. At Panquin, we are combining the renovation and restoration of a historic site with architecturally new construction. Keeping the surroundings in mind, we are making a new connection between the village and the park. In this way, Panquin can return a vital part of Tervuren to its residents.
The vast area around Panquin has been an impressive location since the Middle Ages. It was first used by the Dukes of Brabant for hunting grounds and later expanded with a castle, extensive gardens, and an orangery. As a showpiece, Karel van Lorreinen built an impressive horseshoe-shaped complex with a coach house and stables. This horseshoe complex is now being restored and converted into a Martin’s Hotel with a wellness center.
Panquin
Panquin is a prestigious residential project between the downtown area and Tervuren Park. There will be four luxury residential units in the middle of the greenery.
Next to the hotel, we will build Plein, Park, Toren, and Poort. These four new-build residential units each come with their own assets, from luxury apartments with a view of greenery to the most exclusive penthouses. New parks and a pond will be laid out to allow Panquin to blend seamlessly into the existing environment. The project was designed by a team of architects from home and abroad. The reputable firm C+S from Italy was responsible for the concept design, which was further developed with the local knowhow of DE Architecten, A33 Architecten, Koplamp Architecten, and the landscape designers of Omgeving.
— Idyllic green near Brussels Tervuren is one of the most beautiful municipalities in the Groene Gordel (Green Belt). Tervuren Park, including the Africa Museum, is bursting with history. The tranquility of Zoniën forest is also close by, and all that just fifteen minutes away from our capital.
And it’s not only the area around Panquin that is green. The site is fully equipped for sustainability thanks to an innovative heating and cooling network. The energy is generated by geothermal heat pumps. They extract heat from the earth in the winter and can cool efficiently in the summer. Thanks to this system, the apartments produce up to 80% fewer carbon emissions.

Thanks to the dynamic facades with internal terraces, the new buildings stand out visibly from the unchanging architecture of the historical heritage.
