A mezzanine level provides an overview, organizes access to the various functions, and allows for smaller, boxed functions to be installed under its surface. How to integrate the magnificent and very precarious existing structure, intensify its splendor and its intrinsic qualities, without compromising its architecture? Pavilions for passport control and administration are spread around here and there, becoming part of the garden. The rooms are constructed as simple in-situ concrete boxes, isolated on the inside and lit by roof light. The sequence of rooms could be entered from both ends,  and each room enclosed a composition of models and images depicting a certain project or a theme. Chairs are spread here and there around the new pavilion. The core of the house is formed by the middle two rooms: one with a fixed roof, where two wood elements make the space inhabitable; and the other is a tropical greenhouse with a mobile roof, which contains a bathroom unit and a swimming pool. Afterwards it moved to centre d’architecture arc en rêve in Bordeaux, and will eventually also be showed at the AA School in London. The 20 000 m² project, features a set of multipurpose and flexible production halls, joined in an elongated elliptical floor plan, and crossed by green transversal axes. The curtains move with the slightest breath of wind and the juxtaposition of the two – the images and the forest – takes the viewer into a space where painting blurs into reality. The intervention to resolve both issues is as simple as it is effective. The party walls of a lot in Tielt are raised to their maximum height. This elegant, dense stretch of forest is a datum where the silence of nature presents itself to one who engages with it. The project developed by NP2F and OFFICE proposes the creation of different volumes, independent of the existing building. The enclosure—a modular steel fence—is an integral part of the design and defines the volume of the house. The round floor plan tries to emphasise this relationship between house and garden, between intimate and extrovert spaces. The Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm University Library is housed in two identical volumes directly facing one another. This radical intervention transforms the complex to an urban ensemble composed of different volumes with clear typological characteristics, and the surrounding halls as their common matrix. The future content is the furniture of the rooms. The intervention is the insertion of a large, pavilion-like piece of furniture under the balcony of the Physics hall. On the street side they form terraces, and towards the courtyard they perform as anti-chambers, which provide additional exhibition space and resolve the circulation control to the different parts of the museum. The column rhythm defines plan and sequence: a set of spaces which are not functionally defined. As an ultimate gesture emphasising the private nature of the site, the most intimate spaces are pushed to the extremities of the plan, and are framed with large glass panels towards the landscape. Twenty-four identical rooms are organised over three storeys, each time forming an enfilade around a central atrium. est 1. Design by invitation of Herzog & De Meuron. Curated by Ai Wei Wei. The three gardens have varying degrees of public accessibility, each creating a dialogue with specific urban contexts and their users. This new tower, containing a series of flexible rentable spaces as apartments, offices and artist studios, will provide both structural and financial support to the renovation of the existing complex. The different volumes therefore are engage in a dialogue with each other, the garden and the city that surround them and provide a strong transition between public space and private space. The shop consists of two main ‘spatial’ elements: the aluminum perimeter device that organizes the main spaces and the ‘Loos’ space, space that is intricately designed with a contemporary refinement. The glazed surfaces suspended between them can completely slide open to connect the living space directly to the landscape around it. A set of five compact ‘boxes’, connected by sliding windows, contain auxiliary spaces and the connections to the other floors while functioning as structural supports. Located in the historical port area around the Vauban basin along the Rhein, the housing block is a single large building which relates to the adjacent silos and large industrial structures. In order to double the surface of a seemingly freestanding house in this strangely lush environment, it was decided to elegantly underline the existence of everything there already was, to celebrate the status quo and to simultaneously make the addition disappear by making it extremely visible, making it, in a sense, the protagonist. The building’s presence has been silent over the last few decades, a latent symbol of a declining automobile industry. The structure is translated into a spatial idea. The new library for the municipality of Sint-Martens-Latem is first of all a central gathering point. Structurally, the bridge can be described as a stiff disc, the roof, on which the floor hangs with a minimal presence of structure: a near ephemeral pavilion between the buildings. As a result the volume of the school creates a set of secondary spaces that provide the bike storage and an entrance ramps to the main premises. The building measures the scale of an industrial complex in relation to its surrounding landscape. Each island is covered by a grid of trees, 10 meters apart from one another. The space thus created is intimate yet accessible and tries to represent an idea of delicacy, technology and luxury without using common places. The villa presents itself as a remnant of a house; a set of tectonic elements crating different spatial hierarchies. This perimeter separates clearly the content of the ‘public’ building from the public realm. When the building is in use, the veil is lifted to allow passers-by a glimpse of the performances inside. In 2010 Kazuo Sejima invited Piet Oudolf to design a beautiful garden at the very end of the Arsenale area of the Venice Biennale. By deliberately moving the fence in from the edges of the property line, the dwelling becomes actually “freestanding”—a rare luxury in parcelized Belgium. The exhibition was accompanied by a limited edition release of ‘OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen — Volume 2’, the first published part of an oeuvre catalogue in the making, which is published/distributed by Walter König. The building consists of a linear block of five floors, housing the classrooms and facilities complemented by a horizontal volume—the sport hall—attached to it. This set of gardens was designed and built for the 11th Sharjah Biennial 11, curated by Yuko Hasegawa. It is conceived as a repetition of one module. Through the cross, the rooms are freed from both functional demands and the capriciousness of the site. The project forms a complex piece of city where every building has its own characteristics while sharing a common language. In this way the paradigm of the transparent building in the city is reversed to the inside. In this field of objects, sculptures are considered as compagnons de route to the architectural production. The cremators are located under the highest point of the building. The halls – the former workshop –are freed from technical and practical burdens that would have been imposed upon them if they had accommodated the museum. Four atria are cut out of the prismatic volume to provide open spaces of interaction. Instead of undergoing a major structural renovation and jeopardizing the spatial qualities of these existing buildings, the project takes a bold counter-act, proposing to demolish the building with least historical value and replacing it with a new tower. Seven Rooms, curated by Möritz Küng, was the first major retrospective exhibition of OFFICE, at deSingel Arts Campus in Antwerp, BE. The frame is a gallery that imposes order on the entrances, passages, parking and logistics. A minimal upgrade of its envelope creates a tempered outside climate. A piece of landscape, green, open, idyllic, as if it were on the fringes of the city (where it touches the forest) is to be found in the midst of it. Generous window openings and double doors between the rooms allow for a great sensation of both volume and flexibility of use. The remaining space between the footprint of the buildings and the lot lines becomes a whimsical garden, as a complement to their regularity. The Centre is conceived as a set of rooms of different sizes that are developed in a harmonic system of related measurements. As one unifying gesture, a frame is placed around this chaotic entity. The expansion of a 19th century town house in the heart of Ghent resulted in two houses. OFFICE has won the private competition for the construction of an olive oil mill on the Trebbio estate in Tuscany, IT. Winner of the Belgian prize for Architecture & Energy 2013, non-residential category. The proportion of the towers allows for different programs, living, offices and the extension of the neighbouring hospital. Between the towers low rise buildings are developed around courtyards which open towards the park. The dyke formalises a new urban edge and extends the park over the ring road towards the city. The new bookshop aimed to become an important part of the identity of the future Palais de Tokyo, while also being a strong character and destination in itself. The courtyard defined by the two volumes functions as a parking and entrance zone. The bridge was explicitly designed as a spatial element, rather than a technical solution. From afar, this pyramid formation of the assembly of these buildings makes a specific figure that becomes immediately recognizable, while the roof-top of each building becomes a new ground-floor for the next, providing greenery, panoramic view, a pleasant workspace for production along with a clear address point for each building. The three pieces pay homage to OFFICE 130: Solo House, on which OFFICE and Vermeersch previously collaborated. As such the intervention hangs between device and spatial correction. The corner chair – ideal occasional furniture for an enfilade of rooms – is reinterpreted in three different materials: cast resin, marble and burr wood.

At the same time, the ‘detour’ also allows the height difference between both buildings to be bridged by means of a single, accessible slope of 4%. In collaboration with Bureau Bas Smets. However, if one stands immediately beside the bridge, the side walls appear solid. The lake is not, however, accessible for those who live around it. It serves an institution in transition, on its way to become a metropolitan art center. As a ‘nature morte’ developed together with the artist Richard Venlet it is intended to communicate its particular public content. The former military site will house 600 units (40.000 m²) and the central space transformed into a public garden. This radical intervention transforms the complex to an urban ensemble composed of different volumes with clear typological characteristics, and the surrounding halls as their common matrix. Invited competition, 1st prize. The curator realized the pavilion was too interesting to leave it empty and asked us to present our work in it. The base of the building, which is half submerged in the rising terrain, is formed by a compact grid of rooms, organised as an enfilade through central double doors. Competition, 1st prize. This public heart of the complex seeks to connect with the Berlin tradition of large institutional structures that define a square. Richard Venlet, Jan De Moffarts Architecten, Bureau Bas Smets, Bollinger + Grohmann Ingenieure, Arup, muller van severen, Kritis & Kritis, eld.Â. In cooperation with Bollinger + Grohmann (Stability Studies). Towards the city, the bridge shows itself as a ‘closed’ element, in the tradition of, for example, the Bridge of Sighs. At the other side of the dyke a row of 4 towers, evenly spaced, marks the southern limit of the city. König Books and in Japanese by Kajima Institute Publishing. The interior of the old water tower is stripped out, containing only a stairway that provides access to the technical bridge. Through its twisted position it finishes the existing geometric layout of the fields behind, and at the same time, by opening up like a gate, allows for a view over the fields towards the city of Leuven, almost as a staged medieval city scene. Both are clad with a pronounced curtain façade, partly filled in by glass, partly by polycarbonate panels. It is at the same time a barrier to and vantage point over the park. The Solo house is a country residence in a large untouched forest, in the mountainous region of Matarraña, two hours south of Barcelona.
