Renovation and redevelopment of former orphanage
The Halle Public Centre for Social Welfare commissioned Cordeel to carry out a thorough renovation of a former orphanage. Starting in the 1960s, the building, which dates back to 1900, was used as a retirement home for the elderly. It has served as a social centre since the renovation.
