Happy to announce that our project in Glabbeek was selected the winner of a recent competition. On the narrow plot we managed to combine high quality social housing with a strip of collective green gardens giving all future residents acces to the garden and an opportunity to meet each other!
In a recent competition in the village of Burst, 2DVW designed two new small residential buildings and the transformation of an existing care home around a shared monastary garden. By orienting the building perpendicular to the existing street, the garden becomes an extension of the public space in the heart of the village providing a peacefull green space for its inhabitants.
The future development of Huveneerstraat will be a very dense project, asking for a creative urban solution. 2DVW will soon start designing the urban plan for this site situated on the crossroads between urban and rural Flanders.
Transformation of 100 homes with public space and shops into energy-neutral homes.
This project will be officially opened on the 18th of September.
The renewal plan for the Pollare district focuses next to the creation of typological diversity also on the perception of the area and the joy of living of its residents.
As a team we are selected for a competition in Belgium. For this competition we are going to develop a master vision and an urban design study for the district “Kolderbos” in Genk.We are looking forward to this collaboration with: 2DVW Architects (JDWA + RDVA), PosadMaxwan, VE-R and Simply Community.
