| CUBE HOUSE |
|
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.

| HOUSE 43 |
|
The architects of this home created a workshop, annex home for a graphic artist. All the details in the architecture as well in the interior elements added by the owner are a continuation of the graphic language spoken in this home. The central piece is undoubtably the glasshouse roof over the central garden. Sometimes it is a room, sometimes a garden depending on the mood of the day.

| HOUSE SIEBEN |
|
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.

| CULTURAL HALL SOIGNIES |
|
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.

| FRAGILE LAB |
|
This complex construction houses four functions: storage, showroom, office and a duplex apartment.In terms of concept and organisation Fragile Lab has been perceived as a precise and calibrated machine, however its presence, in terms of utility and experience, is to become that of a fragile object.

| FUTURISTIC BAR |
|
The concept was complex in it’s simplicity. The first impression seems pure and simple but once focused on details the deconstructive style is present all over. The futuristic experience is strong yet without leaving you with a cold feeling.

| HOME IS WHERE WE WORK AND LIVE |
|
This old warehouse is transformed into a modern terraced home. The house is constructed on five different levels. Although you should not take that too literary with the architect, as he likes to toy with heights of various living functions. The work-zone is, unlike in the most houses, integrated in the living-area of the house.

| HOUSE VAN MEERBEEK |
|
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.

| LES BALLETS C DE LA B & LOD |
|
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.

| MULTIFUNCTIONAL HOME |
|
This 19th century house was renovated with a maximum respect for the original features of the house. The multifunctional rooms that were created can be closed or opened up by moveable partitioning walls. The red colour is a reference to the owners love for Henri van de Velde and Bauhaus, where red was often used in interiors.

| MUSEUM |
|
Two Belgian architects designed a museum in a rural
landscape, based on the shopping logic. Through large windows, the
visitor is temped to enter the building. Because the museum stands near
a lake in a green setting, the architects designed it as a rock
formation that blends in with the natural surrounding.

| PIETER DEBRUYNE |
|
From the street, this house looks quite ordinary. Only the round mirror in the door and the blue glass of the windows suggest that behind the façade a particular interior lays hidden. It used to be the private home of furniture and interior designer Pieter De Bruyne. He renovated the house in the seventies and created a mystical atmosphere.

| POLICE STATION SCHOTEN |
|
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.

| RED HOUSE |
|
The architect of this house,Luc Deleu (T.O.P. office),is more known for his art-projects and his manifesto's than his actual architectural work. With this 'red house' he proves that his ideas are not solemnly utopian. Quite on the contrary.

Even before being completed, this skate park had gained an international reputation as a great skating spot, as well as a welcoming space where skaters can share their culture. At night, the park is brought into a fairy-like sensation by the lighting of the square. (more pictures available)
