STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN:

We constructed a CLT (cross laminated timber) house on the historic castle hill (burchtheuvel) of Grimbergen. The varying heights of the landscape provide unique views, while the slope of the land enabled us to seamlessly integrate the carport and lower ground spaces into the hill without compromising on natural light.

Despite maintaining a compact design, elevated by a solid wood construction, the house meets BEN-norm standards. The structural design facilitates the installation of expansive windows, strategically placed where inlets and protrusions puncture through the compact volume of the building.

HANSA:

The new office is conceptualized as a horizontal, self-organizing collaborative network environment that prioritizes open and transparent communication. This concept of "exposed essentials" is reinforced through the use of authentic materials such as steel and wood, with the network of pipes and conduits visibly integrated into the space. What you see is exactly what you get, reflecting the honesty and integrity of the design approach.

HANSA:

The office floor is structured as an open field, offering various plug-in working spaces to accommodate diverse and flexible working arrangements. Options include desk clusters, standing workstations, informal meeting points, central meeting spaces, concentration hubs, and outdoor work spots.

Additionally, the layout incorporates relaxation areas like this kitchen bar, providing spaces for employees to unwind and recharge. 💭
