Last year we completed the new campus for the technical services, fire station, and the Red Cross for the municipality of Herenthout, Belgium.
The project demonstrates how utilitarian architecture can evolve into a clear and cohesive whole. It combines efficient infrastructure and logistics with a landscape design that enhances legibility and spatial quality, resulting in a high-performing campus with a strong identity.
While the approach for such facilities is primarily functional, our design translates the operational logic and the industrial character of the site, into a strong architectural expression. Exposed concrete and corrugated steel were chosen to emphasize these special programmatic qualities, reinforcing visual layering of the different functions and their public spaces.
The project redefines service buildings as places with spatial and social quality, offering a compelling example of contemporary service architecture.
