DRIES VENS & MAARTEN VANBELLE

Atelier vens vanbelle is an architectural firm from Ghent (BE) that was founded in 2006 by Dries Vens (°1981) and Maarten Vanbelle (°1978).

The oeuvre of atelier vens vanbelle looks very diverse. For each assignment, the client/user, the location and the budget determine the end result. The buildings respond to the individuality of the user and the environment. A vensvanbelle sauce is poured over these basic ingredients, so that the experience of the architecture and the environment is always unique.

The buildings not only respond to the context, but also to the feeling of the user. They tell a story… The more specific the assignment, the more unique the end result we generate. Or as architecture expert Dag Boutsen sums it up:

“The architecture of Vens Vanbelle is daring, but without being shocking. That’s what makes it so unique.”

The work of atelier vens vanbelle has already won several architectural prizes and has been frequently published in internationally renowned magazines and blogs.
