Europe building

Flat roofs

From 2011 to 2016, Residence Palace underwent a remarkable metamorphosis and was transformed into the contemporary Europe Building. Popularly known as 'The Lantern' or 'Van Rompuy's Egg', the roof was designed with a series of glass domes to allow as much light as possible into the building. Tectum Group installed Tectum Group 1.3 km of EPDM gutters between these domes. Anecdote: while the work was being carried out, our roofers were hurriedly sent off the roof because of a European summit taking place in the European Quarter. Fun fact: the glass facades of the new section consist of a patchwork of more than 3,000 recycled window frames from all countries of the European Union.

Between 2011 and 2016, Residence Palace underwent an impressive transformation into the contemporary Europe Building, popularly known as 'The Lantern' or 'Van Rompuy's Egg'. The building's design is based on maximizing light, which translates into a roof structure made up of a series of glass domes.

Between these domes, Tectum Group installed no less than 1.3 kilometers of EPDM gutters—a technically sophisticated solution that contributes to the watertightness, sustainability, and functional performance of the building.
