Together with eld, Endeavour and Landscale, Dierendonckblancke has been selected to join the competition for the full renovation of Gandhi-towers 2 & 4 and their surroundings in the Gandhilaan in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek (Brussels).

In collaboration with Claeys/Haelvoet Architecten, Dierendonckblancke is currently working on a design proposal for a new collection centre in Antwerp. The project entails the conception of an innovative heritage repository for the more than 800.000 collection items that are owned by the city. Additionally, the building should also – through its specific implantation on the site – create a specific added value for the neighbourhood. A clear and thoughtful masterplan – which harmonizes building and environment – is therefore the first step. Other candidates in the competition are Office Winhov i.c.w. HUB, Max Dudler i.c.w. Jaspers-Eyers Architects, Bovenbouw i.c.w. Boltshauser and Tab Architects i.c.w. Barozzi Veiga. The project is commissioned by AG Vespa.
Happy to share the news that we won the competition for the Stedelijk Lyceum Expo, located in Antwerpen-Zuid.
The project involves the redevelopment of the site which now contains an outdated school building, into a distinctly public campus. The concrete skeleton of the current building will be preserved and expanded with educational as well as community functions. Through a thoughtful consideration of the necessary programme and the secure addition of new volumes onto the existing one, the Lyceum integrates with the built environment around the site. The result is an ensemble that mediates between campus and city.
The client is AG Vespa and our partners are Mouton Structural Design, RCR Engineering, Gevelinzicht and Daidalos-Peutz.
Our proposal won the competition for the redevelopment of a care campus with housing for 84 people with disabilities in Kampenhout! The call for this project was commissioned by Ons Tehuis Brabant vzw and we’re partnering up with Mouton (structural engineering), with RCR (technical engineering) and with I-Vec (for energy expertise).
The assignment concerns a replacement construction project in the form of three care clusters, which will be carried out in phases. We will be investigating how to design high-quality care residences on multiple levels. In doing so, we aim to incorporate generous terraces and to actively engage with the existing forest on the site.
Following a call organized by the Vlaams Bouwmeester and together with fallow architecture and DUSS-explorers, DBLV architecten is selected to develop a spatial vision for the ILVO research landscape.
ILVO is an institution affiliated with the Flemish government. Its mission is to build up knowledge about the production of food in a socially responsible manner and within planetary boundaries. With more than 700 employees, approximately 200 ha of experimental fields and 90 buildings, ILVO has a rich and unique heritage, embedded in the Rodeland landscape. This vision is the first stepping stone towards a state-of-the-art campus with infrastructure that subscribes to the ambitions of climate neutrality and contributes to the European pursuit of a sustainable living environment.
DBLV is a permanent collaboration between Dierendonckblancke architecten and L.U.S.T. architecten. www.dblvarchitecten.eu
