▪️La Sucrerie Wavre - Belgium ▪️
La Sucrerie is a vast multi-purpose event venue located on a former industrial site, in the heart of the City of Wavre. The contemporary building is a crossroads for all artistic fields and for business events.
La SUCRERIE is an open place. It brings people together. It speaks to everyone while taking each person’s tastes into account. It is open to companies to put Wavre on the map with business meetings, corporate events, forums, fairs and trade shows. It’s also an active place thanks to its associations, open to many cultural collaborations in fields including music, theatre, dance, song, and to exhibitions… all art forms in fact!
Anchored in the 21st century, this important project is the result of the City of Wavre’s dedication to rebuilding itself through a long-term metamorphosis.
The A.D.E Architects and Montois Partners Architects firms (the partnership which won the architecture competition) enabled the blossoming of the project by focusing on one of the customer’s main concerns, i.e., the versatility of the venue, which had to host shows, concerts, meetings, business events, and more.
This requirement was the backbone of the project. The idea of working with interlocking modules that fit together like a children’s game quickly became key to demonstrating the versatility of the venue, as well as to demonstrating its ability to grow, if necessary. The architecture, built around a set of cubes with several cantilevered sections and split levels provides a pure, contemporary aesthetic.
The multi-functionality of the building was of a huge importance. Jezet had the honour to provide seating accommodation for 2 spaces within the building
- A theatre and events hall with capacity for ± 850 sitting and 1,300 standing (tier folded).
- A tiered projection room with ± 250 seats
