Hans Verstuyft
Belgian architect Hans Verstuyft founded his practice in 1992, focusing on varied and challenging projects. His approach emphasizes the specific conditions of each assignment, analyzing factors such as program, surroundings, budget, users, and light alongside more subjective elements like feeling, warmth, and comfort. Verstuyft aims to embed a way of life into his designs rather than simply providing rational solutions. He prioritizes timeless architecture over fashionable trends, believing future buildings should possess a soul that inspires and invites users to live. His design philosophy advocates for simplicity and reduction, reflecting a strong presence.
