A former dairy factory in Forest houses Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s dance company Rosas, and her dance school P.A.R.T.S. Part of the infrastructure is used by Ictus, an ensemble for contemporary music.

The architectural brief includes the main building and dance studios as well as the detached caretaker’s house. Picking up on the existing steel structure, the roof of the dance studios is redesigned, in search of a logical structure with a lightness and materiality that suits the needs of a dance company like Rosas. The main building and the caretaker’s house are freed from previous ad hoc modifications, and strengthened in their identity.
