VIVA ON SITE:
The beauty of existing buildings.
This building is about to begin a new chapter, but first, a look at the character that made us fall in love with it. Our goal: preserve what makes it special and bring it up to today's standards.

WORK OUT:
Designed for movement.
The T-shaped layout maximizes space for rehabilitation and exercise, while timber finishes add warmth and privacy within the raw industrial setting.
A balance of functionality, comfort, and character.

WORK OUT:
Industrial heritage, reimagined.
A physiotherapy practice designed within a protected early 20th-century warehouse. Exposed concrete, polished floors, and visible installations preserve the building’s industrial character while creating a functional and welcoming healthcare environment.

20 JAAR RESTAURATIE ATOMIUM
Hoe renoveer je een icoon dat nooit ontworpen werd om lang te bestaan, zonder zijn oorspronkelijke betekenis te verliezen?
Tussen 2004 en 2006 kreeg het Atomium een nieuw leven. In de “Atomium Podcast – Renovatie” komen de mensen aan het woord die hebben bijgedragen aan de restauratie en heroplevering van dit Belgische icoon.
Onder hen ook Sylvie Bruyninckx, architect van de renovatie. Samen met andere getuigen deelt ze verhalen over de uitdagingen, keuzes en ambities achter de heruitvinding van een van de meest iconische gebouwen van België.
In dit fragment blikt ze terug op memorabel moment uit het project: toen het vernieuwde Atomium voor het eerst schitterde.
🎙️ De volledige podcast is te bekijken op de website van het Atomium, op YouTube en te beluisteren via Spotify en Apple Podcasts.
📖 Meer over de renovatie lees je via de link in bio.

VIVA ON SITE:
8 photos and still not enough.
Some buildings simply have too much character to fit into a single post. Soon, it will be transformed into apartments with an additional rooftop extension. Before the work begins, we’re celebrating the character and craftsmanship that make this building so special.

BLUE SPACE:
For Eurocontrol, we transformed a traditional office wing into a dynamic work landscape designed for spontaneous encounters and knowledge sharing. To bridge the gap between different generations of employees, we created a balance between open collaboration and private focus areas.
The heart of the design is a central blue core—a nod to Eurocontrol’s corporate identity—wrapped in vertical wooden slats for acoustic comfort. By concentrating lockers, meeting rooms, and phone booths in this striking central element, we kept the workspace organized, quiet, and intuitive.

A HOUSE IN THE FOREST:
The simple, but sustainable house is designed with a rational structure of modular timber panels filled with straw. This creates a "breathing" building that is healthy for both its inhabitants and the environment.
While the south and west facades stand out with red-stained wooden planks, the north and east sides serve as a climbing frame for forest greenery—allowing the architecture to slowly disappear into the trees.

AT THE HAIRDRESSER'S:
At @club_exphair, the traditional salon layout is replaced by an enfilade of spaces that follow the different phases of a visit. By integrating a central patio and garden, we brought nature inside, ensuring a transparent and calming flow throughout the entire building.
Architecture designed to make you relax. 🌿
