REFUGE [PROJET]
October 2017
This is the first project of my
architecture studies, so the focus
of this project is on learning the
bases. The program required to
design a refuge for an artist on a
given site. The height of the
ceiling, the orientation, the
arrangement of the views and the
general form of the project was
designed to help the artist
concentrate and relax. A further
focus was placed on the
integration of the site into the
architectural project.

ABBAYE VILLERS-VILLE [ANALYSE]
December 2017
This analysis of an ancient abbey
allowed us to understand the
basics of architectural drawings
such as how to draw an
axonometry, a plan and a cross
section.

ATELIER EXTENSION [PROJET]
May 2018
The extension of the Lazzaretto
Veccio in Venice was our first
major project within the
framework of our studies. It was
about the conversion of a fallow
land into a studio for renovation
students. The challenges were to
work with the culture of the
Lazzaretto directly beside and
also to integrate it into the
Venezia skylign without falling
into a false old. This project
continues the shell of the old
building and thus enables an
integration into the surrounding
area. Furthermore, a larger part
of the fallow land will be left
untouched and made
inaccessible, thus counteracting
the uprooting of the site by this
project.

SALLE D'EXPOSITION [CONCEPT]
October 2018
In this work the main focus was
put on the emotional perception
of the visitor. The task was to set
a Kouros in scene and create a
balance between architecture
and art. My approach was to
observe the different effects that
daylight has on the surface
structure of the statue when it
strikes the texture, either directly
or indirectly. It was important to
analyse the different angles and
intensities of the sun. The final
project now allows for several
different experiences of the same
art object depending on the day
and season.

TRAND HOUSE [PROJET]
December 2018
"Life intra muros" was the theme
of the search for this project. It
was a group project where the
general form of the building was
designed together and in a
second phase the individual
rooms were worked on
independently. The concept of
the building is based on treating
the seclusion by the outer walls
not as a problem but as an
advantage. All rooms and lounges
are arranged around a triangular
patio which is partially flooded.
For the interior decoration of the
room it was important to keep
the visual axis free and to
maintain the general orientation.

GARE DU MIDI [ANALYSE]
February 2019
This model is part of a larger
analysis on the influence of
artificial and natural lighting in
public buildings. I have chosen the
platforms of the main station in
Brussels as object.

GYMNASE + LOGEMENTS [PROJET]
JUNE 2019
As part of a general district
project, the land adjacent to a
former industrial site was
developed and renovated. For the
selected site, apartments and a
sports hall were integrated into a
joint project. The challenges here
were to understand the
urbanistic background of the
changing district. It was also
important to respect and work
with the different borders, such
as the limit between nature and
city or the balance between
public and private, which is
reflected in the program itself.

COHABITAT RENOVATION [PROJET]
December 2019
Living in a cohabitat brings many
additional aspects to consider as
an architect. This project was
about the integration of a
cohabitat into a housing project
in Leuven. It was important to
respect the prevailing dynamics
within the different levels. On the
scale of the whole complex,
within a building but also within a
single apartment. I decided not to
make tabula rasa with the existing
building but rather to analyse
how individual architectural
elements can change an originally
separated apartment into a
functioning cohabitat. The main
requirements were therefore not
to demolish anything
unnecessarily and furthermore to
give the project a common
passion. With a theatre and a film
room, the project has two hearts
with different degrees of
intimacy and can thus activate
and animate the residential
environment.

RESPONSIVE FACADES [CONCEPT]
JUNE 2020
Within the framework of the
digital fabrication studio I have
concentrated on the
experimentation and evaluation
of kinetic facades. I started with
an analysis of the existing
mechanics. The next step was to
develop several different
prototypes in order to respect
some of the advantages and
disadvantages and to provide
suggestions for improvement.
After the experimental phase, the
simulation was used to evaluate
the advantages regarding the
energy balance and the visible
light irradiation.
