TER POORTE, Bruges: landscape design

This project involved renovating a post-war housing building alongside Brugge’s main canal and redesigning the outdoor area above an underground car park.

Rather than designing a conventional parking layout, we approached the site as a non-hierarchical landscape with no predefined paths. People move through this space by finding their own routes — the path of least resistance. The pixelated paving allows grass to grow between the stones, creating a surface that is halfway between a landscape and a car park.

We also designed a bench with different levels, transforming a functional element into a place to sit, meet or play.

Our ambition was simple: to design a place that is almost too pretty for parking.

The prototype timber house we have developed demonstrates the transformative properties of cross-laminated timber. Its ability to span in two directions makes it a superior alternative to concrete slabs for the construction of floors, walls and roofs. This opens up exciting possibilities for creating impressive timber structures, from small houses to skyscrapers!

This conceptual plan illustrates a series of adjacent apartments connected by a central semi-open space formed by a wire-frame structure. The design emphasises gradual transitions between private and communal areas, allowing for natural light and air circulation. The wire frame acts as a flexible boundary, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. In collaboration with Front Office Tokyo.

Different strategies, different consequences: While the West-Side Residence on the right was redeveloped, surrounding structures are being completely demolished. Considering that it takes 65 years for a new building to offset the energy lost through demolition, the impact of these decisions is significant. Photo by

While many collect art or stamps, our client collected second-hand building materials. He asked us to incorporate items from his collection—parquet flooring, plywood panels, a mansion door, a gas fireplace, and a full kitchen—into the renovation of a derelict showroom turned into a duplex apartment and workspace.
