Together with Architectenbureau Bart Dehaene and MAARCH we have completed the masterplan for 2 residential sites in Wevelgem. The project is the result of the invited competition Open Oproep 3605 from which we are now developing the first phase.
We received the building permit for Zwijnaarde, a house with a studio for an artist couple in Ghent.
The construction site in Eernegem has started. The project includes a kindergarten and spaces for youth activities. The intervention is based on three basic principles: the oversize of the existing warehouse, the addition of a compact new building and the generous steel structure as a buffer towards the green playing area.
RAAMWERK in collaboration with NU architectuuratelier, plusoffice, Plant en Houtgoed, ELD and Ingenium has won the Open Oproep 4101 for a new care neighborhood and the construction of a community care home, a residential care centre and a group care home in Kessel. Conceived as a well-considered linking of four building sections, the volumes form an ensemble around a forecourt; a village balcony to the landscape. More info soon.
The construction site for Duinhelm vzw Oostende has started officially today. The first phase of the project consists of two houses for 20 people with disabilities and a community space, anchored in the small-scale fabric of Stene.
Halewijnkouter is a Nominee for the 2022 Building of the Year Awards. Voting is possible until February 9th via this link.

Lichtervelde
Lichtervelde
The typology of the youth center is similar to a house. A house that is open to the neighborhood, but also offers intimacy for the users. A generous house, where spontaneous meetings and activities can take place. The youth center is built following the same principles as the surrounded houses are built, only bigger. This makes the youth center almost an abstraction of its context.
The program is divided in various rooms, each with a specific scale, proportion and orientation towards its context. The rooms are interconnected in a direct way. Because of this interconnection, the separate rooms can work together just as easily as they close themselves off. A flexibility that is the result of a banal complexity, similar to the complexity of a house.
The rooms are shifted around two outdoor spaces which is mainly functional as there is almost no internal circulation in the youth center. The outdoor spaces mediate between the building and the neighborhood and receive the status of ‘event court’ by doing this. A garden wall interiorizes the space and the fireplace becomes the pivot around which the courtyard unfolds.
