Very Belgian A1 Party @ Jeux d’Hiver (Brussels)

Trendy people who wanted to start celebrating Belgian national day on the hippest way enjoyed the evening before July 21st attending A1 Party at Jeux d’Hiver in Brussels. Outstanding brand animations designed by d-side were valorising the exceptional beauty of A1. Without doubt this was the best way to admire the next big Audi without waiting its availability at dealer’s showrooms in September.

Time for discovery and refinement

As the Audi A1 will not be available at the dealer’s showrooms until September, d-side designed the A1 Lounge in Knokke. Together with its partners, Design 4 Rent and Kitsch Club, d-side fully built the A1 Lounge classified as the exclusive hot spot for discovering the long anticipated next big Audi. Apart from the splendidly displayed next big Audi, the A1 Lounge will offer a wide range of drinks and cocktails and an exquisite selection of tapas.

In short, the A1 Lounge will radiate the cosmopolitan allure of the next big Audi and be ‘the place to be’ this summer. A free entrance meeting point featuring Balearic disco dj sets on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays. Indoor and outdoor seating, friendly and welcoming staff, and free Wi-Fi connection should help turning an A1 Lounge ‘pit’stop into an extremely rewarding experience.

Discover the next big Audi this summer at Knokke and enjoy yourself in the A1 Lounge. The A1 team is looking forward to warmly accommodate you.

For these who will not be able to reach Knokke, d-side will organize an extraordinary and exclusive A1 party at “Les Jeux d’Hiver” in Brussels on July, 20th.

Complete A1 summer program available on www.audia1.be.

A1 Lounge. Van Bunnenplein – Zeedijk. July and August. Daily from 11 am until 1 am.


For ten years CBA has struggled to build the first adapted centre for autistic adults in Brussels. Currently, due to a lack of a specialized location for this type of disability, autistic adults are excluded from existing structures or must put up with temporary shelter that may be poorly adapted to their disability.

This project is partially funded by Cocof, but unfortunately the subsidies (49%) do not cover the costs. Together we can help CBA balance the budget. The construction of the day centre and the night shelter will start in late 2010 in order to welcome the first residents in early 2012. To learn more, visit the CBA website.

Furthermore, both buildings of this new centre will be “passive” and “low energy”. The project was selected by IBGE as “best building” because of its high energy efficiency and eco-construction.

To build this facility 30,516 bricks are needed. Knowing that about €150,000 is still needed to complete the building, we invite you to “buy” one or more bricks at €5 each.

The King Baudouin Foundation is also collaborating in this project. Donations on King Baudouin Foundation bank account qualify for a tax certificate from €30 (art. 104. CIR). King Baudouin Foundation bank account number: 000-0000004-04. Reference: L 82256 – 006 – ABC Blocks
