RESERVOIR A

What we do: RESERVOIR A is a Belgian architecture and urbanism firm that designs thoughtful, innovative spaces for both public and private clients. Our core business is the fusion of architectural form and urban programs through reflective design interventions, aiming to enrich the urban experience and improve community lifestyles. We deliver a wide range of projects—from housing and public facilities to urban planning, interior design, and cultural centers—always with a focus on collective benefit and sustainable development. Our portfolio includes the construction of the Grand Hôpital de Charleroi, a memorial garden in Marcinelle, a municipal swimming pool in Courcelles, the transformation of a former school into an artistic creation center (Eden), and the repurposing of Château Winson into a town hall. We serve diverse industries, with a particular emphasis on construction and design, and we collaborate closely with clients, partners, and communities to create meaningful, lasting environments[1][2].

Where we are located: Our headquarters is at Quai Arthur Rimbaud 26, 6000 Charleroi, Belgium. We also maintain a regional office in Brussels, allowing us to serve clients across Belgium and beyond. Our dual presence in Charleroi and Brussels reflects our commitment to addressing both local and regional urban challenges[1].

Short history: Founded in 2007 in Charleroi, RESERVOIR A has grown into a recognized player in Belgian architecture, known for its rational, context-sensitive solutions to complex urban issues. Over the years, we have expanded our team and project portfolio, undertaking significant public and private developments that demonstrate our ability to work at any scale while staying true to our principles of integrity, transparency, and responsibility. Our roots in Charleroi have given us a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in transforming urban environments, and we continue to build on this expertise with each new project[1].

Organization & culture: RESERVOIR A is a multidisciplinary and collaborative practice, with a team of around 25 professionals including architects, landscape architects, urban planners, and BIM experts. We foster an inclusive, dynamic company culture where every team member is valued and motivated to contribute to meaningful projects. Our values center on innovation, sustainability, respect for cultural diversity, and the thoughtful use of materials, color, and light. We believe in the power of teamwork—both within our office and with external partners—to deliver projects that are not only functional and beautiful but also socially impactful. Integrity, transparency, and a commitment to enhancing both heritage and the environment are at the heart of our practice[1].

Recent developments: RESERVOIR A continues to expand its influence in the Belgian architectural scene, with recent high-profile projects such as the Grand Hôpital de Charleroi and the transformation of the Eden cultural center. Our approach to blending historical preservation with contemporary design has been recognized in projects like Eden, where we created flexible, adaptable spaces that celebrate the building’s heritage while meeting modern needs. These developments underscore our ability to innovate within constrained urban contexts and to deliver solutions that resonate with communities and stakeholders[2][6].
