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.

Wolterslaan
The former doctors-house consisted of a long range of connected rooms without relation towards the spacious, north orientated garden. The ground floor is stripped from redundant extensions and expanded with a simple structure, behaving like a pavilion.
The new structure keeps a small distance from the adjacent building. The volume becomes a garden pavilion within the restrictions of a row house. The specific position on the plot creates a narrow passage between the new volume and the neighbors. This allows daylight to penetrate deep into the main volume.
The plan is resulting in a range of interconnected spaces in which the banal complexity of a family house is emphasized. The new constellation allows all spaces to subtly blend together without losing their own character. A perforation in the existing ceiling of the main volume creates a second relationship with the upper floor and allows the light to enter the house from above and is linking both floors.
The pavilion construction consists of a concrete stone plinth that can be used as a seating. It also provides a fire place. The chimney and all other structural interventions are built within the same concrete stone. On top of the plinth an elegant pine wood curtain wall carries the ceiling. A simple and slender aluminum cladding, referring to Upper Lawn by the Smithsons, closes the volume and protects the soft structure and interior from the elements
