B-architecten

(New images) A shared landscape to live and meet: Cirk is now complete.

What was once a cluster of existing buildings has become a small residential ecosystem: 16 homes, 5 assisted living studios, a neighbourhood house and coworking space, all organised around a collective garden.

Three renovated buildings and two new volumes form a clear but layered composition, bringing together a wide mix of housing types — from compact studios to family homes.

At the centre: landscape. An orchard, swimming pond and shared gardens define the rhythm of everyday life. Private terraces extend each home, while collective spaces support everything in between: from working and gardening to hosting, repairing or simply being together.

A car-free site allows the landscape to take the lead. Mobility, parking and storage are absorbed quietly into the edges and underground.

The existing buildings were preserved and upgraded. The new volumes sit alongside them as a contemporary echo — distinct, but part of the same family.

(We’re growing — beyond architecture)

B is expanding, and we’re looking beyond architects alone. From finance to project leadership to the daily rhythm of our office, we’re opening up new roles for people who keep things running, growing and evolving behind the scenes.⁠
⁠
We are currently looking for:⁠
⁠
• A head of finance to coordinate and strengthen the financial strategy across all B-entities⁠ (Antwerp office)
• A financial project manager to guide and safeguard the financial performance of B-architecten projects⁠ (Antwerp office)
• An all-round administrative officer to keep our office running smoothly, from invoicing to office management⁠ (Antwerp office)
• A project leader to join our Ghent team, leading architectural projects from concept to completion⁠
• … and two additional architectural positions across our practice⁠
⁠
What’s in it for you?⁠
At B, you won’t find rigid hierarchies or fixed paths — but autonomy, trust and collaboration. We’re not a traditional architecture office, and we don’t aim to become one. Alongside a competitive and transparent salary package, we offer flexible working hours, green mobility options, and a strong focus on well-being.
⁠
We’re looking for people who take ownership, think ahead, and enjoy working in teams — whether you operate through numbers, organisation or design.⁠

(Project update) The redevelopment of the former ISA site in Temse into an open, mixed residential neighbourhood has been officially launched — accompanied by a new series of project images.⁠
⁠
Our design opens up a previously enclosed inner block and reconnects it to the surrounding streets and urban fabric. The historic abbey and chapel are retained as spatial anchors within the plan, while new volumes are organised around squares, courtyards and car-free passages. A new public square at the edge of the site establishes a clear transition towards the commercial centre.⁠
⁠
Conceived as a neighbourhood that brings together housing and ground-floor amenities, Gustave is designed as an act of connection — between old and new, heritage and contemporary living, residence and town.⁠
