Studio
We are a Brussels based office for architecture and urbanism established in 2013 by Jan Vermeulen. Our studio builds upon the broad expertise of a team of talented collaborators from Belgium and abroad. Led by Jan Vermeulen, who has built up more than 20 years of work experience in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, France and Belgium, the studio works on a wide range of projects including public buildings, collective residential projects and private dwellings and interiors.
The work of our studio is recognised for its sustainable and inclusive approach. Our projects have been internationally published and recently been awarded the New European Bauhaus Award 2022 and the Belgian Building Award 2022.
We have developed an approach based on precision, craftsmanship and eye for detail. Our projects are layered and kaleidoscopic. We look for meanings hidden in the spatial form, but also in the making of this form. We are looking for an architecture that serves and loves people. We commit to a diplomatic approach that generates architecture that feels familiar but nevertheless unlocks new spatial conditions, sometimes modest, sometimes bold.
We see the challenges of our time as a breeding ground for an inclusive, feasible, economic, and sustainable architecture. Our architecture does not grow in a far utopic future but is conceived in today’s society so we can live better in the society of tomorrow.
Biography
Jan Vermeulen studied at the Henry Van de Velde-Institute in Antwerp and the Technical University of Delft where he graduated in 2002.

From 2002 until 2012 he has worked in London where he was an associate at Sergison Bates Architects, and later held a similar position at David Chipperfield Architects.
Jan Vermeulen has taught at the Department of Architecture, Urbanism and Planning of the KU-Leuven (Belgium) and the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture (The Netherlands) where he has lead design studios on architecture and urbanism.

Services
Our practice offers comprehensive and responsive design services including feasibility studies, concept designs, planning applications, tender documentation, and site supervision during execution until completion.
We have a track record in developing successful designs for public sector projects. We strive to produce a sustainable architecture that positively transforms the experiences of its users and the wider community, prioritising long-term benefits over short-term rewards.
We love to work with developers, cooperations and social housing companies on ambitious collective housing projects. We believe in densification strategies for affordable high-quality housing within a strong socio-spatial framework that fosters long lasting communities.
We enjoy designing tailor made projects for private clients. We strive for a bespoke architecture that generates timeless places with a strong identity on reasonable budgets.
Teamwork lays at the basis of our approach. We are always looking to develop lasting relationships with clients, colleagues, consultants, contractors, governments, users and residents. The studio is open to various forms of collaboration with clients and contractors. We are always one of the driving forces in various alliances with fellow architects both in Belgium and abroad. One of these collaborations was Studio Thys Vermeulen, with whom the studio completed several projects.
