(We're in the headlines!) We're kicking off the construction holiday in good spirit at B, with an article about our 'B-cinema', an old movie theatre that we renovated and repurposed into an extension of our Antwerp headquarters. Read about it today in both De Standaard and Gazet Van Antwerpen and get a look behind the scenes, along with some fun facts about the history of this extraordinary place!

B-architecten are designers of sustainable buildings that enhance both the urban and the open space.
About us
B is the sum of four studio divisions called B-architecten, B-bis, B-city and B-juxta. At B-architecten, we design sustainable buildings that enhance both the urban and the open space. Back in 1997, Evert Crols, Dirk Engelen and Sven Grooten set up an independent office for architecture: B-architecten was born. The three had met during their education in Antwerp and Amsterdam. At the internationally oriented Berlage Institute, it became clear that Evert, Dirk and Sven shared a common design interest. Today, the office is located in Antwerp and Brussels. Ten years after the foundation of B-architecten, they started a new initiative together with Sebastiaan Leroy: B-bis architecten became an office that focuses on small architectural projects, residential interior design, offices and shops, scenographies for exhibitions and performing arts, temporary installations and furniture design. In 2020, B-city was launched as a third B-platform with the aim to shape and supervise complex urban projects. The core of its ambition is to work on large-scale projects that carry the potential of becoming new city districts. Today, B-architecten, B-bis and B-city have naturally grown into an office of more than 60 people. Each B-team has its particular focus and way of functioning, yet they all share a distinct innovative view on the variety of projects the B-platforms stand for.

On to further and new collaborations after summer! Enjoy some sunny time off, the B-team. - Our offices will be closed between 15 July and 5 August.

(Opening Roeselare town hall!) Major news: this Sunday, 30 June, Roeselare's new town hall will festively open its doors. Everyone will be able to admire the extensive renovation and expansion of the town hall, with a brand-new entrance on the Grote Markt immediately catching the eye. Other highlights are the imposing atrium with its glass roof and the beautiful, green inner garden that forms a new and freely accessible resting point in the middle of the city. In the course of the summer, the city services will move to their new workplace, and from September the services for all citizens will start in the town hall building as well. This will end a three-year period of demolition, construction and renovation. - Curious to see the project with your own eyes? Plan your visit this Sunday, 30 June.

“The latest velodrome and sports complex to open in Belgium puts its users’ needs front and centre. It shows why, sometimes, getting your ideas on track takes a nudge rather than a revolution.” - as reported by Monocle magazine. The photos accompanying the article were taken by Belgian photographer Kevin Faingnaert. - Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gQFjNcwF - #velodroom.vlaanderen Client: VZW sportcomplex Vlaanderen & Heusden-Zolder In collaboration with: dbv architecten . . . #barchitecten #wielerdroom #velodrome #heusdenzolder #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archidaily #dezeen #architizer #divisare #architecturematters #afasiaarchzine #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #monoclemagazine #publication

(More award news!) We have only just won the Renaat Braemprijs, and yet our team was nominated for another award. We are proud to share that our Heem cohousing project Qville was selected as a finalist in the first edition of the European Collective Housing Award. Qville is an innovative cohousing project born out of a unique restoration and reconversion of the former quarantine stables in Essen, Belgium. The site is classified as protected heritage. The 1.7 ha domain includes 45 BEN homes (with 1 to 4 bedrooms), 5 studios for people with disabilities, an inn with guest rooms, a swimming pond with covered terrace, an indoor pool, a community center, a shared park garden, a small museum and a coworking space. Thanks for nominating us! - More info: https://lnkd.in/euKyavef - #eai_iae_ #arcenreve Another fruitful collaboration with Heem.

(One month to go!) It's official: on 30 June, Roeselare's new town hall will open its doors. Today the enormous construction site is still ongoing, but every day 150 professionals are working on the finishing touches to this sustainable project. From this summer, visitors will enter the town hall via the new atrium on the Grote Markt. The large, airy reception area is a real eye-catcher in our design that immediately links the new buildings with the historical part, which has also been fully restored. And then, of course, there is the beautiful new inner garden, which will be a publicly accessible, green oasis in the city. - Find out more about the progress that is being made on the construction site here: https://lnkd.in/gxYVfRmQ - Client: stad Roeselare In collaboration with: Bressers Erfgoed, Arcadis, Atelier Arne Deruyter Photos: B-architecten . . . #barchitecten #roeselare #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archidaily #dezeen #architizer #divisare #architecturematters #afasiaarchzine #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #renovation #opening #almostthere

(We won!) Tonight the Renaat Braemprijs was awarded and we are more than proud to share that De Academie got to take home the public jury prize. De Academie is a cohousing project in Turnhout for which we collaborated with Heem. The Renaat Braemprijs gives recognition to the unique combination of heritage renovation and new construction that makes this project so special. In addition, housing units of various sizes are combined and there is room for people with care needs. The project gives a logical interpretation to a piece of heritage in the city, where residents can live throughout their lives. A big thanks is also in order for everyone who voted for De Academie! Your support motivates us in new projects. - Find out more about the Renaat Braemprijs and De Academie here: https://lnkd.in/eDHVf6pj - #renaat_braemprijs #artur_architectuurplatform #provincieantwerpen Client: Heem Photography: Lucid . . . #barchitecten #academie #turnhout #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archidaily #dezeen #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #collectiefwonen #collectiveliving #heem #meerdanalleenwonen #renaatbraemprijs #provincieantwerpen #architectuurprijs #artur_architectuurplatform #nieuwewoonvormen #collectiviteit

(Open Wervendag) A few weeks ago, the maypole of the new community centre in Stekene was planted - a milestone for this project that marked the end of structural works on the multipurpose hall and library. Sounds like the perfect time to open the construction site to the public! We invite you to pay a visit to the impressive building shell of the new community centre during Open Wervendag this Sunday, 26 May. For one day, the building site will be freely accessible. - More info and a spectacular drone video of the works on the website of Open Wervendag: https://lnkd.in/eTNW2CA9 Hope to see you then! - Client: municipality of Stekene In collaboration with: A1AR, Furnibo Drone shot: Furnibo . . . #barchitecten #communitycentre #stekene #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archidaily #dezeen #architizer #divisare #architecturematters #afasiaarchzine #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #firststone #construction #sustainable #OWD24 #openwervendag
