Residential care centre, assisted living residences
Project description
Restoration, expansion and repurposing contract
The former Lemaire sanatorium is located in Overijse near Brussels. Built in 1936–7 as a tuberculosis sanatorium for 150 male patients, the building was used as a hospital until 1987. The complex and its outbuildings were recently declared a World Heritage Site and have been protected as a monument since 1993.
NV Tombeekheyde acquired the complex in 2008. The original idea of a care function in this special place has been maintained through the development of a retirement and nursing home in the main building. The plans include, apart from retirement and nursing rooms, assisted living residences, support functions, a restaurant open to the public and a witness room to recall life in the sanatorium.
