The OCMW offices are currently housed in a former police station. The building still has the typical visual appearance associated with this use and is located in the centre of the borough. Together with the town hall and community centre, the OCMW building forms a triptych around the market. The intention is for the future ‘social house’, the town hall and the community centre to form an integrated whole in the town centre.
The OCMW has a central location in the town but this is not reflected by its appearance. In order to meet the new requirements and challenges of the ‘social house’, an expansion of +/- 200 sq. m. is essential. In addition, a thorough renovation of the existing buildings is also necessary, in particular to improve technical and organisational shortcomings. The building currently possesses insufficient visual character and recognisability as a centre for public services. The rear of the building requires structural improvement in terms of accessibility and the development of its public character. A reorientation of the entrance will create the opportunity to incorporate the open space already present into the project as an expansion of the town square. This will ensure that the OCMW social house acquires a central place in the heart of the town.
The architecture must support the recognisability of the public service provision by means of a logical planning arrangement. Optimal and clear accessibility and a client-oriented reception are of central importance in this regard. In addition, the renovated building must be a pleasant and future-oriented work environment. The OCMW wishes to create an energy-efficient social house with the necessary attention devoted to renewable energy. The social house must serve as an example in the areas of accessibility, flexibility and sustainability.
