Epic By an Artist

The project

A place built not to repeat itself

A cultural stage in the making, deployed in three phases over eight years. Each season invites a single artist to take up the entire venue, framed by a programme that moves between art, table, sound, movement and the seasons.

The project

A venue, conceived in three phases

Over eight years, in dialogue with the 1875 architecture and the protected grounds of Drohme Park. Each phase extends the previous — never replaces it.

Year 1

The Stables

The long wing becomes an evolving gallery — exhibition, performance, video, sound. The short wing houses the boutique and offices.

Years 2 – 3

The Dome & The Pavilion

A light structure inspired by the living world — leaf, shell, cocoon, hive — for art, cuisine and mixology. A glazed pavilion hosts live creation, broadcast into the gallery.

Years 2 – 3

Rooftop Gallery & Bar

The rooftop becomes an event stage. Immersive concerts, projections, culinary experiences, and a signature ephemeral bar.

Designed with an architect and a Natura 2000 specialist. The constraint becomes identity.

The programme

The six arts

Six axes of activation crossing around one place, one artist, one season. None stands alone — it's their intersection that makes the EPIC signature.

The gallery

L'Art comme ADN

The evolving stage where a single artist takes a season-long residency: exhibition, performance, video, sound. Inaugural show: Richard Orlinski.

Gastronomy

L'Art de la Table

Chef-driven dining as editorial moment. Omakase dinners, private kitchen sessions, zero-waste collaborations — each menu conceived as a work in its own right.

Sound experiences

L'Art du Son

Silent concerts, candlelight sessions, acoustic soloists, vinyl nights. Natura 2000 rules out heavy sound — what stays is the art of listening closely.

Sport & wellness

L'Art du Mouvement

A running club setting off from the hippodrome into the Forêt de Soignes. Yoga at sunrise on the tribunes. A rooftop pop-up spa. The track comes back to life.

Food & street

L'Art de la Rue

Monthly rotating food trucks, each a different culinary origin. The rooftop and the grounds become an open-air village of tastes.

Winter programme

L'Art de l'Hiver

An ultra-premium Christmas market, privatised New Year's Eve, candlelight concerts. By invitation. Rarity creates value.

Architecture & constraint

In dialogue with 1875

The project is designed with an architect and a Natura 2000 specialist — in dialogue with the neo-Renaissance Flemish stables of 1875, and with the protected natural setting. Each new structure is conceived to extend the original building, never to replace it.
