Feature BLOB
BLOB photos Vercruysse Frederik
dmvA designed a mobile living and working unit. It has all the practical comforts of a caravan, the difference is that it looks like a sculpture. Closed the blob is like a huge pebble, or even an egg. With its nose opened it has more of a funny looking space-ship.

Feature CULTURAL HALL SOIGNIES
CULTURAL HALL SOIGNIES photos Dujardin Filip
This project goes beyond its initial ambition, which is the construction of a multipurpose performing arts hall by including in its scope the rich outdoor carnival and local festivals. The project contains, in its morphology, the two sides of the local cultural dynamic: institutional culture inside the building, and folkloric culture outside and on the building, following the external walks and a stepped slope that doubles up as outdoors seating for street festivals, carnival and other events, or simply welcome occasional pedestrians.

Feature HOUSE SIEBEN
HOUSE SIEBEN photos Dujardin Filip
This house is designed with a strong inside-outside relation. The architecture embraces the outside space and subtle passages are created. The living room was raised 80 cm above level to create a direct relation with the outside views. The level differences in the house provide a subtle game around the central staircase with relatively small level differences.

Feature CUBE HOUSE
CUBE HOUSE photos Dujardin Filip
A house that refuses to be a barrier between public and private and is rather lifted in an attempt to provide a shelter for public use. The same footprint is private and public at the same time.

Feature POLICE STATION SCHOTEN
POLICE STATION SCHOTEN photos Dujardin Filip
The new police station is used as a catalyst for urban development. Where most new police stations neglect their role as public institution, this building maximizes it. The L-shaped figure forms the angle of a new square, an alter ego to the surprisingly urban central square of Schoten: ‘de markt’. A series of atriums turns the interior into a flow of open spaces, a continuation of the public character of the outside.

Feature SWIMMING POOL
SWIMMING POOL photos Vercruysse Frederik
This swimming pool is located in Antwerp and opened his doors in 1933. Today it has been completely renovated. The building houses the renovated pool, bathing houses, a hammam, a gymnasium and a restaurant.

Feature TONEELHUIS
TONEELHUIS photos Dujardin Filip
In the former scenery store at the Bourla, in Antwerp, Jan De Vylder architecten designed offices and production areas for Het Toneelhuis. The interventions of the architects are mainly situated at the front of the building. The ground floor houses public functions such as reception and ticket area. Higher up, they designed three floors with offices, piled up as books on a shelf.

Feature COMMUNITY CENTER AVELGEM
COMMUNITY CENTER AVELGEM photos Lanoo Julien
DierendonckBlanckeArchitecten designed a new community centre for the town of Avelgem. The center houses a theatre, a polyvalent venue with common foyer/administration an autonomously functioning youth café. The foyer, centrally in the building, offers entrance to the theatre and polyvalent venue. The theatre is clearly tangible in the foyer because of the presence of a tilted level in the room. A large central vide ensures visual contact with the polyvalent venue and allows daylight to enter. Special attention has been paid to the position of youth café Krak. Although the café is situated in the socle, it still has an exterior terrace, situated in the pit along the Scheldelaan.

Feature WET89
WET89 photos Bollaert Stijn
Wet89 is a new unique place in Brussels, designed by 51N4E. Situated between the Jubelpark and the Royal Park, Wet89 combines high-minded offices (Cd&V headquarters) with a public bar-restaurant on the ground floor. The bar-restaurant is a place where you can escape the busy (office)life. The old `box' offices without any daylight have been exchanged for well-organized office floors, where the daylight can penetrate into the building.

Feature LES BALLETS C DE LA B & LOD
LES BALLETS C DE LA B & LOD photos Dujardin Filip
At the Bijloke site in Ghent, Jan De Vylder architecten constructed a production house for dance company Les Ballets C de la B and musical theatre LOD. The result is two alienating constructions back to back; as if they have been pushed apart, yet still contemplate one another through unusual viewing holes. Quite remarkable in the building are the façades on end which, unlike the heart of the building, are completely transparent. The glass façade does not only reveal the function of the building but also its construction. A poetic combination of building materials, window settings, staircases and concrete floors with only a glass curtain separating private from public.

Feature CHAPEL HOUSE

Feature HOUSE H
HOUSE H photos Dujardin Filip
For the extension of this house, the architect got inspired by the concrete plates which the neighbour used to built his garden wall. The plates were used for the walls, ceiling and floor of the new extension.

Feature BARN HOUSE
BARN HOUSE photos Ocvirk Kus Danica
A house whose design is inspired in the surrounding countryside, and which can be said to represent a continuation and an extension of landscape architecture. The structure of the landscape is the key to the design of the house.

Feature HOUSE VAN MEERBEEK
HOUSE VAN MEERBEEK photos Dujardin Filip
This house is build right next to it’s neighbour. Only a small space was left open between the two houses to create a private corridor. One side façade of the house is executed in glass and creates on every floor an open and light space. The three similar floors of the house are divided by standard Ikea closets. On one side of the closets lay the day rooms, on the other side the night rooms. If necessary, the house can be reorganised without a problem.
