Belgian Architecture : Buildings
Key Belgium Property + Architectural Developments, Europe
Belgian ArchitectureWe've selected what we feel are the key examples of Belgian Architecture. We aim to include projects in Belgium that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and competitions across Belgium. The focus is on contemporary Belgian buildings but information on traditional architecture is also welcome. Belgian Architecture : A-B (this page) Belgian Building Designs : C-K Belgian Building Developments : L-P Belgian Buildings : Q-Z Belgian Building - Latest Designs + AdditionsArchitecture News - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically:Swimming pool K, Grimbergen, Flemish Brabant, Flanders, northern Belgium Design: dmvA  photo : Frederik Vercruysse Swimming Pool in Belgium - 19 May 2013 The architects describe this design thus: "although the principal dreamt for years of a swimming pool in his small garden, he chose to renovate his 17th century gentleman’s house first. While the contractors were about to start the works, the uninhabited school building, adjoining his garden, was offered for sale. The principal did not hesitate, works were stopped and the school building was bought. After many analyses and intense discussions it was decided to realise the swimming pool project first". Schaarbeek Sports Hall, Schaarbeek, Brussels, Belgium Design: O2 Architectes  photo : Filip Dujardin Schaarbeek Sports Hall - 16 Apr 2013 The sports hall plays an important role as urban and social invigorator. It is a local landmark for neighbouring young people, particularly for those who don’t have access to any other recreational facility than neighbouring squares and streets. Cemetery of Hoog-Kortrijk, western Belgium Design: SumProject + Souto Moura Arquitectos  photo : Luis Ferreira Crematorium Uitzicht - 9 Apr 2013 It is a matter of searching for calm and make peace with the impressive landscape of Hoog-Kortrijk. The cemetery of Hoog-Kortrijk is a serene place that folds with the landscape, with plateaus that slip rhythmically over the slope. Zero Energy House, Lokeren, northern Belgium Design: BLAF Architecten  photo : Stijn Bollaert Zero Energy House Belgium - 26 Feb 2013 The allotment creates a condition that is both generic and specific, context and non-text. The house deals with this condition in an apparently indifferent way, whilst in fact it is questioning the allotment: it is reformulating the concept of the front, side and back facade by addressing the surroundings in equivalent ways, and it is consciously leaving any kind of fencing behind. Buda Art Centre - Budafabriek, Kortrijk, western Belgium Design: 51N4E  photo : Filip Dujardin Buda Art Centre - 12 Feb 2013 The last remaining textile factory on Buda Island - an area destined to become the cultural heart of the city - has been transformed into a number of multifunctional spaces. This large volume of 4.240m² on a site of 3.900m², situated in the middle of a city block, has been adapted through two main interventions. Stadshal Gent : City Hall, Ghent, Belgium - Nominated for Major European Award Design: Robbrecht en Daem architecten; Marie-José Van Hee architecten  photo : Petra Decouttere Stadshal Gent : City Hall, Ghent, Belgium - 31 Jan 2013 The European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe have announced the five finalists who will compete for the 2013 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.

Boekenberg Park, Deurne, northern Belgium OMGEVING  photo from architect Boekenberg Park - 19 Dec 2012 The architects and landscape designers approached this building within the conceptual framework of an 18th century English Garden. The concept was to bring the visitor to the romantic natural setting and to confront him with emotionally charged dramatic 'events'. Sint-Agatha-Berchem, north-central Belgium Design: BURO II & ARCHI+I  photograph : Filip Dujardin Sint-Agatha-Berchem - 8 Oct 2012 Sustainable social housing district Sint-Agatha-Berchem, sites ‘Termonde’ and ‘Gérance’.

One plot is located along the Beheersstraat and has 43 units, the other one is along the Dendermondestraat with 32 units. On both plots, four blocks of apartments and low-energy houses have been built, classically aligned or in a sawtooth configuration. Villa Roces, Bruges, northern Belgium Architectuurburo Govaert & Vanhoutte bvba  photo : Tim Van de Velde Villa Roces - 3 May 2012 + LEAF Awards winner 22 Sep 2012 Villa Roces is integrated in an oblong terrain of about 70m long and 30m wide, situated in the forest surroundings of Bruges.
