Assisted by the Cellule architecture of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Stations de plein air Madeleine Melot in Namur were able to organize a competition to transform their main building. Under the leadership of the Génerale – Elmēs association, the L-shaped building from the 1970s will be transformed into three pavilions: a response adapted to the needs of this organization devoted to child welfare that takes the form of a nod to its history.

Dating back to the 1930s, when its founder began getting involved in the working-class neighbourhoods of Namur, the history of Stations de plein air Madeleine Melot (SDPA) is defined by ever-evolving person-oriented assistance and support. Today the association seeks to successfully help children facing various challenges integrate in school, society and family. It also assists adults with disabilities. It offers all its beneficiaries a multidisciplinary, tailor-made approach. The lack of specific structure for children with autism spectrum disorders led the association to consider founding a CRF (Centre for functional rehabilitation) dedicated to this specific group. This is where the architectural journey began.
