living with the past IV : water tower




Something that's useless for someone, maybe not for others.

"This water tower in Belgium was one of the first buildings made in concrete
and continued to be in use up until 1937.
When four new water towers were built within the commune of Brasschaat
and a completely new water supply system was put in.
The water company showed no real interest in the tower
due to its totally outdated technique and construction methods."

So later on in 1994 it was given a new chance.
When Crepain Binst Architecture got the assignment
to transform this building into something new.
An amazing house in an exceptional surrounding.

Everyone and everything in this world deserves a second chance.
