Glaverbel Building

Glaverbel Building

The building, designed in 1967 by architects Jacqmain, Braem, Mulpas and Guilissen as the headquarters for the Belgian glass manufacturer Glaverbel, is one of the finest examples of modernist functional architecture. The perfectly round shape of the building gives it a strong identity. It was thoroughly renovated in 1997 to meet modern architectural and environmental standards.
