The industrial site in Zwijnaarde near Ghent can be considered the birth place and physical home of the DOMO holding (now Dovesco). Here Domo Chemicals built its first and oldest factory: the poly tower. We propose to largely preserve it as a built testimony to the company’s history and achievements, yet we also want to update it to embody the ongoing transformation of a forwardlooking enterprise.

As such the old structure becomes the springboard for a completely reimagined building. This includes a thorough overhaul of the exterior and a sensitive insertion of new functions into the characteristic industrial spaces. Our design reflects the ambitions of a company that is forever evolving and adapting, building on the solid foundations laid in the past to dive headlong into the future.
