About
Conversion of a 1920s industrial waterfront warehouse into a public archive and exhibition hall. Layered concrete reveals and clerestory glazing reorient the building toward the harbor.
Notes
The brief asked for a public archive that could hold the city's overflow of municipal records without becoming yet another sealed civic vault. We answered with a section that reorients the building toward the harbor — clerestory glazing above, layered concrete reveals at the base. Storage occupies the back of the plan; the reading rooms look out over the water. The exterior keeps its 1920s industrial weight; everything new is recessed enough to be felt rather than seen.

Architecture
A mixed-use townhouse on the Schelde quay accommodating a ground-floor studio and three apartments above. Brick coursing matches the 1890s neighbors at street level and shifts to charred timber above.
