De B’s op de pier in Blankenberge!
B is the sum of four studio divisions called B-architecten, B-bis, B-city and B-juxta. At B-architecten, we design sustainable buildings that enhance both the urban and the open space. Back in 1997, Evert Crols, Dirk Engelen and Sven Grooten set up an independent office for architecture: B-architecten was born. The three had met during their education in Antwerp and Amsterdam. At the internationally oriented Berlage Institute, it became clear that Evert, Dirk and Sven shared a common design interest. Today, the office is located in Antwerp and Brussels. Ten years after the foundation of B-architecten, they started a new initiative together with Sebastiaan Leroy: B-bis architecten became an office that focuses on small architectural projects, residential interior design, offices and shops, scenographies for exhibitions and performing arts, temporary installations and furniture design. In 2020, B-city was launched as a third B-platform with the aim to shape and supervise complex urban projects. The core of its ambition is to work on large-scale projects that carry the potential of becoming new city districts. Today, B-architecten, B-bis and B-city have naturally grown into an office of more than 60 people. Each B-team has its particular focus and way of functioning, yet they all share a distinct innovative view on the variety of projects the B-platforms stand for.

(Project completed!) Last weekend, the brand-new youth and sports complex in Nieuwpoort was officially opened. After the Wielerdroom in Heusden-Zolder, this is the second large-scale sports facility we have completed in one year with B-architecten. The Nieuwpoort youth and sports arena not only has room for a spacious sports hall, it is also a place for the youth service, which organises playground activities and after-school care, among other things. This way, the complex brings children into contact with a wide range of sports at an early age. - Our photographer will capture the project later this week, after which we will happily share images of the finished result. In the meantime, you can watch a short TV report on the building here: https://lnkd.in/e2H9-kPr - Client: stad Nieuwpoort Images: The youth and sports complex has been fully operational since this summer. © B-architecten . . . #barchitecten #nieuwpoort #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archidaily #dezeen #architizer #divisare #architecturematters #afasiaarchzine #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #stadnieuwpoort #opening #completed
(A gentle reminder to visit!) No weekend plans yet? This sunday, 8 September, is Open Monumentendag and the Arsenaal site in Ghent will be open to the public with a number of guided tours. The Arsenaal site is dominated by sheds and a tangle of train tracks. It was built in 1881 as the Atelier Central de Réparation to maintain and repair steam locomotives and freight wagons. Until 2018, it was in full operation and only accessible to NMBS employees. The site was bought a few years ago by the Arsenaal 3PK consortium. As project director and designer of the master plan, B-city plays a key role in its current redevelopment. Het Arsenaal is to become a new, innovatively interwoven city district with great respect for the past. On 8/9, you can discover the traces of this unique industrial heritage on a guided tour and be inspired by the future plans. - The tours are free, but advance registration is required.

(An update on our B-cinema) Recently, B landed on the cover of the De Standaard culture section: our B-cinema was part of an article on ‘the rediscovery of the cinema’, or how old movie theatres are given a new soul. Likewise, we breathed new life into the former Cinema Lux in Antwerp, turning it into an extension of our headquarters. Over the past months, we gave you a glimpse behind the scenes of the renovation works. In the meantime, our team has moved into our new office location and we started working on the final decorations, which are now ready. Our favourite photographer Lucid will visit us in a few days, after which we will share the long-awaited final result with you. - Keep an eye on our channels, as we will be sharing the new images shortly! Meanwhile, read the article in De Standaard: https://lnkd.in/ev-eAizd - Images: our B-cinema during renovation. . . . #barchitecten #bbis #bbisarchitecten #bcity #bcityarchitecten #bjuxta #bjuxtaarchitecten #antwerp #antwerpen #provinciestraat #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #architecturematters #afasiaarchzine #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #office #officebuilding #cinema
(Job alert!) Working at B has been synonymous with exciting new projects, working together autonomously and cosy garden barbecues for more than 25 years. We are looking for a fresh load of kick-ass colleagues, such as a project leader for our B-bis team and a BIM coordinator to join our office in Antwerp. - Wanna know more?

(We won!) B-architecten won the mini-competition for 19 modular houses and 18 flats in Hemiksem together with modular home builder Skilpod. The competition was organized as part of the framework contract ‘Modular Housing’ of the Flemish Government for which the group B-architecten, Skilpod, Van Roey and AHArchitecten was selected last year. Over the next four years this and two other groups will be invited to compete for projects to design larger modular housing projects. This project, called ‘Living around square and garden', will set in motion the execution of the master plan New Hemiksem. It responds to the need to renew an incoherent neighbourhood which grew out the fragmented development of dead-end streets, scattered buildings and private gardens. Our vision for the neighbourhood is centred on greening and soil decompactation. The current individual homes with spacious private gardens make way for clustered modular housing with an alternation of single and multi-family homes around squares and gardens. - More info and future updates on the project on our website: https://lnkd.in/ey4-W7eh - Client: Wonen in Vlaanderen In collaboration with: Skilpod, Van Roey, AHArchitects Images: B-architecten . . . #barchitecten #woneninvlaanderen #vlaanderen #architecture #belgianarchitecture #belgium #architectuur #architect #archilovers #welovearchitecture #instarchitecture #instaarch #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archidaily #dezeen #architizer #divisare #architecturematters #afasiaarchzine #yellowtrace #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #design #raamcontract
