Project description
In April 2018, the new reception area of the Genk commissariat (police station) was officially inaugurated. The reception and interview areas have been renovated beyond recognition in collaboration with B+ architects, in order to increase safety and providing better services. The renewal of the reception area was a challenge due to the changing regulations in the field of counterterrorism and safety in general on one hand, and on the other hand the combination and integration of aesthetic, functional and technical requirements. The end result is a successful balance between aesthetics, functionality and technology and is adapted to the latest safety guidelines.

- To transfer all the complex shapes from building plans to reality
- To maintain all correct heights when installing the curved ceilings in conformity with regulations for public spaces, when most techniques where already there
