Why choose sustainable housing in Brussels today?
Reducing your ecological footprint in the city
In the face of climate challenges and urban densification, sustainable buildings have become a necessity.
Choosing eco-friendly housing in Evere means living in a healthier environment while limiting CO₂ emissions.
Thanks to green technologies such as geothermal energy, solar panels and water recovery, Matisse 16 actively contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions.
Protecting yourself from rising energy costs
Energy-efficient housing is also a smart investment.
The apartments at Matisse 16 have a PEB A rating, guaranteeing controlled consumption throughout the year.
Thanks to centralised renewable energy systems, residents are protected from rising gas and electricity prices, while enjoying optimal thermal comfort.
Matisse 16: a real estate project designed for sustainability
A fossil fuel-free design
The Matisse 16 project is entirely fossil fuel-free.
The entire site is based on an innovative geothermal network, combined with heat pumps powered by solar panels.
This energy architecture provides natural heating and cooling for the homes, while reducing pollutant emissions.
Geothermal energy, solar panels and high-performance insulation
The buildings have been designed to maximise energy performance:
The result: a very low-energy building that combines comfort with environmental responsibility.
Centralised and efficient water recovery systems
The infrastructure at Matisse 16 Living includes rainwater recovery and reuse for sanitary facilities and green space maintenance.
The roofs, equipped with smart collection areas, help to reduce drinking water consumption and limit urban runoff, a major issue in Brussels.

Green roofs and natural rainwater management
Green roofs are not just a symbolic gesture: they regulate temperature, promote biodiversity and improve air quality.
They also contribute to sustainable rainwater management, which is essential in a dense urban environment.
Private gardens and local plantings
At the heart of the project, a landscaped garden provides a peaceful setting for residents.
Local, low-water-consumption plants support biodiversity and strengthen the link between nature and habitat.
These green spaces promote conviviality and a sense of community within the neighbourhood.
Infrastructure for bicycles and soft mobility
Sustainable mobility is central to the philosophy of Matisse 16:
Evere is thus becoming a model low-carbon neighbourhood, where everything is designed to reduce dependence on cars.
The benefits of Matisse 16’s sustainable apartments
Comfort and well-being in everyday life
Sustainable housing is also pleasant to live in.
Thanks to soundproofing, indoor air quality and naturally regulated temperatures, residents enjoy constant comfort, winter and summer alike.
Terraces, loggias and large bay windows let in natural light, improving everyday well-being.
Reduced and controlled costs
High-energy-efficiency equipment reduces monthly expenses for heating, air conditioning, water and maintenance.
Centralised energy management by a specialised operator (ESCO) guarantees stable costs and simplified long-term maintenance.
Homes that anticipate tomorrow’s needs
By combining green technologies, energy resilience and architectural quality, Matisse 16 Living already meets the standards of tomorrow’s housing.
It is a sustainable investment in the heart of a dynamic neighbourhood undergoing rapid transformation.
