FELT together with aNNo architecten won the invited competition for the renovation, restoration and reprogramming of the renown Gothic City Hall of Leuven. The winning design was praised for its mindful dealing with the historical context, the unambiguity of the new architectural gesture and the all encompassing approach towards the broader challenge of reprogramming heritage.

Elementary School, Zarren

FELT won the Open Oproep competition for a new primary school in Zarren. The new building aims at blending in with its surroundings and is designed in tune with the adjacent nursery school. A compact two-story volume is positioned in a way it maximizes the open space. Thus creating a big playground that can extend in a public square, linking with the town’s center.
The building itself is characterized by its rational and economic structure consisting of two wings connected by a central hall. This renders a clear and straightforward circulation scheme. The west wing is directed towards the landscape and contains nine classrooms. The other wing houses the more public functions and is directed towards the playground and the town.

FELT in collaboration with 2001 and atelier Horizon, won the invited competition for a new sport and recreation facility in Peterbos, a large-scale modernist social housing development in Brussels. 
Using the height difference to our advantage we conceived the new building as a big circular plaza amidst the rigid blocks surrounding the site.  The large volume of the sports hall is therefor recessed underground giving way to the plaza whilst still enabling the other functions to relate with the public realm on the lower street level. The facade is designed as a sequence of large windows opening up the inner workings towards the neighbourhood. This prolonged gallery concludes in a striking corner volume, containing the café and the large elevator and staircase that connects the plaza with the street and the sports infrastructure within.

FELT collaborated with MAAT Ontwerpers on a masterplan for the Neptunus-site near Ghent. The planned demolishment of the current open air swimming pool was a starting point to research the possibilities of the area. As a result of an intense co-creation process with multiple stakeholders, the new masterplan not only defines the new position of the swimming pool, but also leads to a more open site with strong green character and a rational and safe circulation plan.

Entrance Pavilion, Gaasbeek

For the new entrance pavilion for the estate of Gaasbeek we designed a small tower. It acts as a first architectural encounter in the sequence of ‘folies’ scattered throughout the parks and gardens surrounding the Castle. Standing along the road, it allows for easy recognition as a starting point for a visit to the domain.
The layout of the quirky building is highly rational: on ground level a large public hall is embedded in the greenery, stacked on top are the auxiliary functions. Its sober brick facade features large arched openings, providing impressive views on the surrounding landscape. The top floor is conceived as a public roof terrace, where visitors can scan the area - much like watchmen at the gate.

Provinciaal Hof, Brugge

FELT won the WinVorm competition for the design of a new visitor center and event spaces within the Provinciaal Hof, a 19th century neo-gothic palace on Bruges' central market square. We proposed to rethink the ground-floor level as an extension of the public space and suggested the creation of kind of plaza in the middle of this neo-gothic decorum.
The aim was to improve the accessibility and offer more flexibility in the usage. To do so the non-authentic generic tiling is interchanged for a new terrazzo flooring, characterised by an oversized checkered pattern that extends all te way to the back, and thereby somehow settles with the original articulation of separate rooms in the creation of a larger 'forum'.


This forum is conceived as a 'plug-and-play' event space offering state of the art technical solutions integrated within the renewed floor. The raster of 2,5m*2,5m brass lines set out by the flooring pattern spans a field of nodes throughout the space. These nodes not only provide multiple network acces points, the also serve as docking points for a specific set of equipments, specifically designed for the forum to serve a diverse future programming.
This forum is adjoined by serving functions organised in the side wings. In the south wing a new elevator, subtly integrated within the original structure of the building, creates a new logistic connection. Highly improving the operations of personal and catering staff in the organisation of events within the authentic interiors on the higher floors. In the north wing a new stairway connects the forum with the new lavatories and cloakroom.

Together with doorzon we had the chance to develop a new concept for the presentation of the permanent collection of the Design museum in Ghent. The premise: A permanent collection shouldn’t necessary result in a permanent exhibition. This partially 'curatorial' challenge, in opening up a +20.000 pieces strong collection towards the broad public, induced a design proposal that aims at incorporating ‘room for doubt’.
By closing off the inner core of the building from the space around it we consolidate the spatial duality that was already inherent in the plan. The perambulation around our newly created center we use to showcase a selection of masterpieces. The core itself provides a place for experiment: A permanent resource for temporary interventions continuously revisiting the collection in its full range and depth.

The museum lobby is conceived as a ‘hub': a space that helps the public to orientate towards the galleries, the ticket desk or the cafeteria. The existing architecture provides no more than what the intended function asks for, merely the space itself. Ad hoc additions (multimedia desk, promotion, shop, kids-corner…) transformed it into a place of clutter.
The challenge was to incorporate those necessary additions without neglecting the purity of the space. The design consists of a single intervention, the introduction of three mirroring cubes. When spread out in the space they reflect their surroundings, adding new perspectives. Bright primal colors in their interior mark their distinct functions and add fragments of color to the sober interior of the lobby.

Behind The Curtain, Biennale Kortrijk

The idea for this Award-winning project for the 2014 Interior Biennale in Kortrijk derives from the consideration that space is a scarce good on most fairs. Booths are crammed side to side and constantly screaming for the public’s attention.
In the same way a city park can be an escape from busy traffic, Behind the Curtain offers a pause from the noise and visual overload of the fair. Arranged along the solid base of two marble bars it offers intimate seats comfortably embraced by a silky curtain. Therefore, aside from the food and drinks it provides, this bar’s biggest asset might be the hiding space it generates.

'Beyond Klimt' starts with paintings by Gustav Klimt and brings together works of former Austro-Hungarian artists who, after the fall of the empire at the end of WWI, each placed their artistic identity before their nationality. The scenography design accommodates a unifying atmosphere leading the visitors through different rooms and chapters. A ribbon of hand drawn pencil lines forms a continuous guideline. It's changing rhythm provides a means to alternate intensity throughout the different rooms. Similar vertical lines shape the marbled plastic benches and pedestals.

The brief for this social housing project called for 7 single 3-bedroom houses and 3 apartments. The plot is a long stretched strip in a street consisting of consecutive row houses with small north-oriented private backyards. Rather then persevering this existing typology we opted to turn things around. By creating an alternating rhythm of laterally organized houses and dual gardens we break up the continuous street facade. Bringing light into the street and giving the houses and gardens a more beneficial East-West orientation. This feature was reinforced furthermore by the gently rounded brick corners, creating the quaint figuration that is repeated in the corner building containing the apartments.

The project site is situated in a very dense neighborhood with a serious lack of public space. Our site, a courtyard inside a building block, is currently used as a parking lot. The projects goal was to create a new home base for the Chiro-youth. Concepts like flexibility, durability and multiversity were paramount. FELT therefore designed a highly compact building, saving budget in space for the thorough renovation of the courtyard. Turning it into a multi-functional square and/or playground. This way the project accommodates not only the demands of the client, it also seizes the opportunity to contribute to the public realm in this overpopulated neighborhood.

FELT was selected to propose an artistic intervention for the new community center in Turnhout.

Intrigued by the slight rotations in the plan, we looked for the center point and used it to draw an arc spanning the width of the space. It resulted in an elongated aluminium piece of furniture with a lens-like shape. It might easily function as a coffee counter but at the same time it seems averse to any functionality in the way it blends in, reflecting the thoroughfare.

The Jenevermuseum is characterized by heavy wooden trusses and an abundance of crude brickwork. The scenography aims to introduce a new lightness within the historic site. Slender white structures are positioned between the bulky beams. The result is a juxtaposition that results in a continuous interplay between dark and light, solid and slim, old and new.
