British design studio David Chipperfield Architects has completed the Hertogensite residential complex, which is located in Leuven, Belgium. It is comprised of three housing typologies that blend a series of interconnected forms made with brick materials. It rests on a narrow site that borders the city's medieval wall and the river Dyle. It features a 14-story tower, a small apartment block, and nine townhouses together.

Associate at David Chipperfield Architects, Julien Gouiric shares, "The design process was influenced by two main questions: how to tie together three different typologies into one coherent building, and how the building should respond to its unique surroundings. The townhouses, a small apartment building and a tower were unified by the architectural expression of each unit."
