House WBVD / BASIL architecture

Valeria Silva — Tue, 06 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The street façade of this 1870s townhouse reveals nothing of the architectural interventions that were used to transform it into a contemporary home. Once the room-high door of the entrance hall is opened, you are surprised by the openness and architectural interventions. The original main volume was retained and extended with two diagonally stacked glass volumes. In the process, each intervention was accentuated in concrete or green colours. The kitchen with the void and the light-flooded central stairwell are the eye-catchers of this design, in addition to the bathroom with a view of the historic city centre of Bruges.

The Tower of Balance / Bangkok Project Studio

The Tower of Balance is one of the twelve creations by six artists and architects invited to design outdoor art installations for the 4^th Triennale Bruges 2024 from April 13 – September 1, 2024, at the World Heritage City of Bruges, Belgium.

Common Thread / SO-IL

Paula Pintos — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Common Thread is an immersive passage made from a 3D knit textile connecting a previously inaccessible 19th-century monastery courtyard in Bruges back to the city. Inspired by the medieval city’s lace-making tradition, the installation uses an innovative woven fabric to create an intricate spatial experience in a wave-like tunnel. It draws visitors in, emerging into a sunlit courtyard and engaging in a serendipitous exploration of history, craft, and technology. The transformed garden contains multiple worlds, threading past and future, form and matter, memory and space, against the rich backdrop of the monastery's surroundings.

Brugge Diptych Pavilion / PARA

Paula Pintos — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 02:00:00 +0000

Jon Lott / Para Project, completes the Brugge Diptych --a temporary pavilion for the 2021 Brugge Triennale, TraumA, Brugge, Belgium. The Diptych served as an event space for the Triennale’s programming, addressing issues in urban trauma, and was one of several international commissions open within the city through late Fall.

KTA Brugge Technical School / Planomatic architecture + Radermacher & Schoffers Architekten

Valeria Silva — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

The project to add a new wing to the KTA technical school in Bruges was obtained through a competition within the ‘Scholen van Morgen’ (Schools of Tomorrow) Flemish school infrastructure investment program. The brief was to design a new functional building in order to house 4 departments (automotive bodywork, interior decoration, woodworking, construction) that were previously located in the Bruges city center.

Studio for Stained Glass Artist / Studio mxmxm

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 13 Nov 2021 06:00:00 +0000

In 1956, the parents of the current residents built a modern bungalow house on this tree-rich plot designed by architects Jaqcues Pêtre & Jan Tanghe. The plan is conceived on a grid of 1,12 by 1,12 meters consisting of an outer shell of black tarred wooden walls interspersed with large windows and a cantilevered roof supported by 10 steel columns.

Notary Van Damme / Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects

Andreas Luco — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 02:00:00 +0000

Three notaries employ 24 employees in the Van Damme notary in Bruges. The building was designed around a number of essential spaces, such as auditoriums, meeting rooms, closed and open offices. This functional approach was aesthetically conceived to be reduced to its bare essentials. Minimal is combined with warmth, with an emphasis on line formation and proportions. The main materials that dominate both inside and outside are glass & concrete. The facade is largely glazed, alternately combined with concrete. Above the entrance, an overhanging glass cube provides shelter from the rain. The facade is a pattern of beam shapes in glass and concrete with well-considered proportions.

Ark Shelter / Michiel De Backer + Jakub Senkowski + Martin Mikovčák

Daniela Cardenas — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 15:00:00 +0000

We are students of architecture, who put our heads together to rethink the way people live their fast and stressful lives. Today we witness a perpetual evolution of new technologies in the fast forward moving world. It is a never-ending story of daily pressure and continuous deadlines. We were thinking about a way to escape from our stressful lives and to get back to our roots. We believe people will find the break they need by bringing the nature back.

Residence WULF / CAS architecten

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 22 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000

In a residential area in the neighbourhood of the historical town of Bruges in Belgium, we can find this beautiful marriage of living and working. The clients, both doctors employed in a hospital in the vicinity, were dreaming of a new house with room for their medical practice at home. After looking around, they found the ideal location in a lot with originally two parcels including an old house. Cas Architects did the rest.

Care Lab / dmvA

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 11 Aug 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Care lab is a part of the university building Vives North in Bruges. The building is completed in 2009 and designed by De Vloed architects. It consists of three annexes: a relatively closed concrete plinth, a three-story building, and a floating roof. Characteristic to this school building is the frequent use of exposed concrete for load-bearing walls and floors.

The Floating Island / OBBA & Dertien12

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Brugge in Belgium, also known as ‘Venice of the North’, is a city designated as a UNESCO World Heritage still showing the beautiful old section of the city in the Middle Age. The canal going through the city, along with the well-preserved structure, is the unique element of Brugge providing beautiful landscapes.

Poolhouse O / Steven Vandenborre

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 04:00:00 +0000

The project brings together a walled courtyard and a swimming pool. The living area is a glass box contained within a concrete garden pavilion. By making the poolhouse entirely out of glass, with minimal framed windows, both inside and outside seems to disappear. Natural light is entering the pavilion by creating enclosed gardens.

Protected Houses Renovation / Atelier Tom Vanhee

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 08:00:00 +0000

Two disused protected 17th-century houses on a brewery site in the centre of Bruges were rebuilt into a family home (with existing retail and storage space).

Ruth / Urbain Architectencollectief

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 05:00:00 +0000

Because of its position on the corner of the Sint-Jakobstraat and the Ezelstraat in the centre of Bruges, this historical building with a former wedding shop and related sewing workshop, did not have any significant garden or outdoor space, and therefore suffered from a lack of daylight.

Canal Swimmer's Club / Atelier Bow-Wow + Architectuuratelier Dertien 12

Cristian Aguilar — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 02:00:00 +0000

Expanding on a tradition of Triennals for contemporary Belgian art in 1968,1971 & 1974, the city of Bruges decided to organize and start again a Triennale for contemporary art and architecture in Bruges this year ( 2015 ).

House VVK / UR architects

Karen Valenzuela — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The existing house has been rebuilt several times. This resulted in some spaces, like the attic, hardly ever used and with construction problems. We decided to restore the house into the state of its original modernist design (architect Arthur Degeyter) and to extend it with an extra volume instead of the existing garages. The necessary changes bring more light inside without cutting any trees.

House Roces / Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects

Nico Saieh — Fri, 04 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Villa Roces is integrated in an oblong terrain of about 70m long and 30m wide, situated in the forest surroundings of Bruges. The concept consists of a 50 m long and a 4.20 m high wooden wall flanking 6 m wide glass box is disposed.
