Lex building, Administrative building in Leopold Quarter, Belgium
The Lex building rises 73 meters with 15 floors above ground and 5 underground levels, featuring glass facades that maximize natural light throughout the structure.
Following the European Union expansion in 2004, this building opened in 2006 to provide additional office space when the Justus Lipsius building reached capacity limits.
The Lex building functions as a central facility for the Council of the European Union, hosting diplomatic meetings and international administrative operations.
Located at 145 Rue de la Loi, the building connects directly to metro stations and includes a restaurant on the ground floor serving employees and visitors.
The structure contains two deliberately empty floors within its design to maintain an open interior environment, demonstrating modern architectural planning principles.
