Publication Het Vliegertje and Pension van Schoonhoven in Flanders Architectural Review N°14. When Attitudes Take Form. Fifty projects display the multifaceted nature of the resulting architecture. Twelve essays examine a current topic.

Public interest in architecture and spatial issues has never been so high. The Flanders Architectural Review No.14 presents striking architecture from Flanders and Brussels. It assembles a broad range of recently completed architectural projects and situates them in the evolution of the socio-cultural domain in which they arose. 

BULK architects, OVERZICHT and Woonpunt Schelde-Rupel have been selected for the Regional project call "sustainable materials and energy use"! Social housing companies can play a pioneering role in making residential areas more sustainable, because they are often the only ones with a patrimony of some scale. During the feasibility study, we outline a path to a climate-proof sustainable Schrijverswijk in Zwijndrecht - with heat network, geothermal energy and other renewable energy sources. We involve experts, look for stakeholders and investigate thresholds, choices and solutions. The financial support of the FDME for this study allows us to conduct thorough research that falls outside the usual design budgets. The knowledge gained will be shared with other social housing companies to maximize the impact.

Dear clients and partners,

BULK architects honors the measures taken by the government to limit the spread of the corona virus.
We are not only concerned about the health of our employees, clients and partners, but also want to take our responsibility towards the community.
Until further notice, we limit our internal and external contacts to the strict minimum. At the same time, we try to guarantee the continuity and deadlines of our projects. Our employees work from home and when necessary at our office with a very narrow staffing.

Together we can make a difference. Flatten the curve ...

We organize meetings and site visits digitally as much as possible. Our project architects will make practical agreements about this in consultation with contractors and / or clients. Please contact them via their respective mobile phones or by email.

Take care of yourself and each other!

The Schrijverswijk project team visits the district heating network in social housing project Broeker Winningstraat in Hasselt. Social housing company Cordium gave us an extensive presentation and tour of their progressive project. Very educational! Sustainability and well-being of the tenants were paramount when developing the heating network. The district heating network is a robust solution for the energy transition and after completion Cordium continues to improve and optimize this, assisted by European partners. Inspiring!
