i.s.m.architecten<\/a><\/strong> has been based in Berchem since 2010, working in a 100-square-meter former diamond cutting workshop dating back to 1895. The seven-person team embraces informality: \u2018Creativity needs chaos. A good office welcomes the mess<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n i.s.m.architecten<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Studio Okami<\/strong><\/a>, founded by Hans Vanassche and Bram Van Cauter, inhabits a 150-square-meter office in Antwerp. Once executive rental apartments for the city\u2019s petrochemical industry, the 1971 building was designed by Paul De Meyer and Leon Stynen. Alongside the partners and their office dog, Se\u00f1or Pe\u00f1a, the space is arranged as \u2018a home office away from home<\/em>,\u2019 combining domestic comfort with workplace focus.<\/p>\n Studio Okami<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In Brussels, OUEST<\/strong><\/a> has occupied a 240-square-meter office since 2021. The ten-person practice describes the space not as a traditional office, but as an atelier \u2014 a collective project where the group can feel its identity through shared atmosphere and activity.<\/p>\n Ouest<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Located in a renovated 1963 lock keeper\u2019s building in Ghent, OYO Architects<\/strong><\/a> brings together twenty-eight people in 1,350 square meters. The space, designed by E. Buyse and reworked in 2022, reflects the firm\u2019s belief that an office should evolve with its people \u2014 encouraging spontaneous encounters, communication, and creative growth.<\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n OYO Architects<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \t\t<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n At Tavernierkaai, Antwerp, POLO.platform<\/strong><\/a> has been housed since 1996 in a 1963 office building originally used by shipping companies. The 1,230-square-meter workspace, designed by Raymond Goovaerts, accommodates sixty-three of the firm\u2019s eighty-three staff. Open culture is central: cross-disciplinary encounters happen through shared lunches, project discussions, and spontaneous exchange.<\/p>\n POLO.platform Antwerp<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Brussels branch of POLO.platform<\/strong><\/a> has been located since 2016 in the historic Koninlijk Pakhuis, designed in 1906 by Ernest Van Humbeeck. The 470-square-meter space once functioned as storage and later as a venue for cultural events. Today, it continues the studio\u2019s philosophy of encouraging mixing and communication across disciplines.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n POLO.platform, Brussels<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In Ghent, Stand Van Zaken, led by Theo De meyer<\/strong><\/a>, works from a 1,000-square-meter former horticulture site. The practice, which flexes between three and five collaborators, has been based here since 2019. They describe their workplace simply: \u2018a generous office.\u2019<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stand Van Zaken (Theo De Meyer)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Robbrecht en Daem Architecten<\/a><\/strong> established its Ghent studio in 2007 on a former wood storage site rebuilt between 2005 and 2007. The forty-person office spans 1,320 square meters indoors with an additional 2,000 square meters outside, designed by the architects themselves.<\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n Robbrecht en Daem Architecten<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \t\t<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n photographer:\u00a0<\/strong>Marc Goodwin \/ Archmospheres<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0@archmospheres<\/a><\/p>\n The post explore belgium\u2019s architecture studios through the lens of photographer marc goodwin<\/a> appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" photographer marc goodwin arrives in belgium \u00a0 Expanding his ongoing documentation of architecture studios\u00a0across the world, photographer Marc Goodwin \/ Archmospheres has now turned his lens to Belgium.
