Wild Gallery

Premium Event Space

RESPACE transformed an unoccupied 10,000 m² industrial building in Brussels into the Wild Gallery, a premier event space and conference center, also hosting artist studios, photoshoots, and showrooms. This versatile venue served high-profile clients for over a decade before transitioning into a housing project.

The Wild Gallery, located in Forest, Brussels, is a striking event venue that was transformed by RESPACE from an old industrial building into an ideal location for various events.

Originally built in 1902 as the headquarters of Diamant Boart, this 10,000 m² post-industrial building was given new life through RESPACE’s vision and expertise. Its minimalistic and modern design, with ceilings over 5 meters high and skylights providing natural light, made it a perfect setting for a wide range of events.

RESPACE’s innovative approach included creating a modular setup with five distinct units, allowing for the creation of different atmospheres simultaneously. The white velums on the walls served as potential screens for multi-projection, offering endless possibilities for customization. The Wild Gallery was equipped by a preferred technical partner providing sound, light, and video support, along with a list of preferred caterers and rentable furniture for events. Its accessibility was further enhanced by ample parking facilities, and the venue could accommodate up to 1,500 people for events.

Throughout its operational years, the Wild Gallery hosted numerous prestigious events. The Belgian National Lottery utilized its raw, industrial style, while Baloise Insurance Company held a memorable reception featuring singer Roberto Belarosa. Corporate clients such as Proximus, Bosch, Carrefour, L’Oréal, Partena, Volvo, Yves Rocher, and VRT also chose the venue for their events, finding the perfect match in the gallery’s versatile space.

RESPACE’s transformation of the Wild Gallery significantly contributed to its status as a premier event space in Brussels. By converting this industrial site into a hub for high-profile events, conferences, and creative projects, RESPACE demonstrated the potential of vacant properties. The success of the Wild Gallery underscores the impact of innovative space management and the ability to create value from historical buildings. The venue remained a landmark location until its transformation by the commune of Forest into a housing project.
