The Arts Campus 'Kunst-As' anchors a growing cluster of cultural institutions in the centre of Asse. Its L-shape frames the protected chapel and completes the city block. On the outer corner, a small setback creates a forecourt that marks the public entrance and connects the street with the revived cloister garden.

De Rijck – Matthys House / Atelier d'architecture Pierre Hebbelinck

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

While meeting strict criteria for achieving low energy consumption, the building offers an exceptional relationship with its context. The house formed its clearance by responding to the constraints and attributes of the site. Its silhouette is divided into two wings opening onto the rural landscape; it also offers a feeling of spontaneous welcome. It is integrated into the site’stopography, ordered simultaneously by the relief and the poor quality of the soil, thus creating the upper floors with gentle spaces without modifying the natural configuration of the lot.

Asse Landform / ORG Permanent Modernity + C2O Architects

Florencia Mena — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 03:00:00 +0000

The project is the result of a competition initiated in 2009 by the Town of Asse, Belgium for a regional fire station and a youth center. The site (a brownfield of formerly asphalt production industries) is located on the outer edge of the Town Center. Beyond the ring road the landscape is open, rural. A “land-form” concept was developed as a means to preserve existing landscape features and create a dialogue between the new buildings. The land form is scaled appropriately to the landscape and organizes the new buildings – a youth center and a fire station – into one common shape. As a singular and bounded entity, the form does not suggest sprawling growth in any direction, but rather offers a clear vision for future landscape, infrastructure and building decisions.

Wooden House CM / Bruno Vanbesien + Christophe Meersman

Cristian Aguilar — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

This new house was built on an open lot in between two houses dating from the second half of the twentieth century. It is the result of the successful cooperation between the architect and the owner, an architect- assistant himself.

Passive House with Textile Skin / BLAF Architecten

Javier Gaete — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Belgium is one of the most dense, yet endlessly dispersed areas in Europe, and has come to a point where the existing models for spatial development, often based on private ownership of land, are no longer justifiable.

dnA House / BLAF Architecten

Javier Gaete — Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The dnA house is located on a left over plot in the centre of Asse, at 400m from the railway station, with a direct connection to Brussels. The house also contains a home office. The cross shaped footprint is oriented towards the sun and following the natural slope on the terrain, which results in a ca 45° rotation towards the street. The ground floor level bypasses the slope in three steps.
