GARE MARITIME

Rosette tiles for the old freight station of Tour & Taxis

RESTORATION · BRUSSELS

The building

The Gare Maritime was built between 1902 and 1907 as the freight station of the port of Brussels, and for decades it was one of the largest goods stations in Europe. After the trains stopped, the heritage-listed hall was restored and reopened in 2020 as a covered public space with offices and shops.

Our work

For the restoration of the iron façades we reproduced the ceramic rosette tiles set into the riveted columns, with the porcelain caps that fix them. Each piece matches the relief, size and finish of the original.
