After studying interior design abroad and several years of experience in the hospitality industry, Lambert decided to follow an intensive BIM training. STAUT has been working with BIM software for years and within the scope of his training Lambert chose STAUT as an internship.

The renovation works for an eclectic corner building in Antwerp have started. The choice of materials for the interior is currently being busily discussed with the client.

The entire STAUT team wishes you an inspiring, healthy and creative year full of fun projects!

STAUT visited tile manufacturer Huguet in Campos, Mallorca. This small family-run business produces hand-crafted cement tiles that are custom-made for each project. Huguet is internationally renowned for its unique hydraulic tiles, which are still produced using traditional methods. This process, which dates back to the 19th century, involves pressing cement, marble powder and natural pigments under high pressure, resulting in durable, colourful, high-quality tiles. STAUT visited to get inspiration for projects in both Mallorca and Belgium.

MSC Belgium will soon get a new terrace design with an abundance of greenery. From the terrace, staff members have a panoramic view of the port of Antwerp and can take a break from office work. The layout can also be used for informal meetings, for example. The indigenous plants are chosen for their ease of maintenance, but also because of the specific dry and windy context.

Steffi Cauwenberghs studies interior design at the Thomas More Institute in Mechelen. As part of her studies, she chose to do her interior design internship at STAUT architects. Besides special interests in experimenting with all kinds of materials, Steffi has a passion for photography.

Structural work has started on WAL.20 in Lier. Within a year, a newly built house with kine practice will be realised. The house is located next to a wadi in a new residential area. Special attention was paid to a rational and affordable structure and a plan that responds flexibly to the client’s future housing needs.

The extensive remodelling and extension of the single-family house KDR is progressing well. The structure of the shell is ready and the contractor has now started on the facade brickwork. Once again, we are playing with cool brick connections that give the extension a contemporary character, but also put craftsmanship in the picture. The floor slabs are made of a wooden beam structure that will later remain visible. Honesty in the use of materials remains our hobbyhorse.

Work on the OSM house is almost complete. The façade of the extension is yet to be fully overgrown with climbing plants, so the extension will blend in with the garden that also remains to be landscaped. We are looking forward to all that greenery!

We paid another visit to a fun conversion project of an old doctor’s house in Morstel. The wooden structure is almost completely greyed out, which was the intention. Inside and outside continuously blend together. Inside, too, one is bathed in greenery. A holiday feeling is never far away! The nice photos are by Nick Claeskens.

The new phase 1 offices for MSC Belgium have been inaugurated. MEDLOG staff have now been working in their new working environment for a month. We received very positive feedback from the users and that is of course what STAUT does it for! The building was BEN renovated and soon we will start the second phase. (Photo: Nick Claeskens)

As part of the total renovation of the Omnimundo school, we were asked to provide additional play space in the playground. We designed a wooden cassette structure standing on substantial columns in the centre of the playground. The platform/canopy functions as a play balcony from which you can watch the rest of the playground. We crown it all with a Japanese cherry tree that will help charge the open space. More info soon on the VMA.18 project page.

The LVH patio house in Hove was completed and it must be said: ‘we are proud of the final result’. The house was organised around a central patio and great attention was paid to living quality. The beautiful garden was designed by garden architect Stefaan Moreal. We wish Wouter, Lies and the children a fantastic time in their new home! More info can be found on the project page on our website.

Noraleen joins our team. She did her master’s thesis under supervisor Erik Wieërs in the studio Dorpstedelijkheid. She searches for an adequate architecture that reconnects living with the landscape. She proposes a new rural living, preserving familiar living qualities: involving the landscape and intensifying views of greenery.

Concept A’s new home is almost ready for commissioning. We designed the interior as a compact office that feels generous and was given a homely domestic ‘ twist’. The office will also serve as a showroom to subtly highlight the company’s craftsmanship. More info can be found on the project page.

We are extremely proud that STAUT’s design proposal was chosen as laureate. The project comprises 25 flats and the vision development for the public domain of the residential area in Hombeek. We are reconnecting the neighbourhood with the Zenne Valley. Project commissioned by Woonpunt Mechelen. More info can be found on the project page.

Stien Hermans studies interior design at the Thomas More Institute in Mechelen. As part of her studies, she has chosen to do her interior design internship at STAUT architects. Once again, we are delighted that students choose our firm.

Structural work on the EES.19 project in Schoten is starting. The structural work on the care home located in the residential park zone will be ready before the building holidays. The existing old home has since been demolished.

The facades of Can Olivera are clad in Mares from a local quarry. In the past, almost all buildings around Sa Rapita were built in this limestone. The facades are detailed stone by stone, leaving hardly any construction waste. The lineation is aligned with the claustra that favours privacy and shading. More info can be found on the project page.

We have submitted the planning permission for the MSC office infill in the existing volume. The existing car park will be occupied by office platforms. These blend seamlessly with the existing offices. The structure and materialisation of the previous conversion will be continued. Ultimately, the phasing will be invisible in the final result.
