This illustration is not just a drawing… It’s a vision. A flexible, multi-purpose auditorium that will soon come to life in the Netherlands.

What already exists is precious, and it is important that we preserve and rework it. Here, we have an old farmhouse in Portugal that has been converted, isolated, and focused on nature. This site contains various materials that encourage us to reuse them. There are many doors on this site that frame the view of the surrounding environment. They are part of what already exists that we want to revive because they hold stories and secrets. This site invites us to reconnect, to enter a space that is both timeless and alive. That is why we wanted it to be accessible and habitable again, to welcome people who can enjoy this site, which will retain its charm. . . .

We are proud to announce that Meelpakhuis has been awarded at the World Architecture Festival 2025! After being selected as a finalist, the project has now received the distinction Highly Commended in the Creative Re-Use category This recognition celebrates the transformation of an abandoned industrial structure into a vibrant, contemporary living space — while preserving its history and architectural identity. The Meelpakhuis is the sixth building completed in the De Meelfabriek complex. Originally built in 1937 as a flour packing warehouse and left vacant for over 40 years, it has now been reimagined: the original concrete frame remains, while a new glazed volume introduces residences and commercial spaces, opening the building back to the city and the canal. We are honoured to see this approach to adaptive reuse recognised on the international stage Thank you to all the collaborators and supporters who made this project possible. . . .

De Meelfabriek won Gulden Feniks 2025, one of the Netherlands’ most respected awards for renovation and transformation. From a historic industrial site to a vibrant urban district, this nomination reflects decades of careful work, architectural vision, and collaborative commitment. Thank you to all who have contributed to this project. De Meelfabriek is more than a redevelopment — it’s a shared space built on collaboration, care, and long-term vision. The project brings together historic preservation, inclusive housing, entrepreneurship, and sustainability in the heart of Leiden. By partnering with local organizations and creating spaces for all kinds of people, we are building more than architecture — we are building community. This is a recognition of everyone who contributed to this collective effort. . . .

In the heart of Champéry, a 19th-century landmark stands proudly once again. The Bazar de la Poste, once the village’s post and telegraph office in transformation: from a place of passage into a place to live. Behind its thick stone walls, every beam, every color, every detail has been thoughtfully reimagined. The renovation was guided by one clear intention — to preserve the building’s soul while infusing it with the warmth and comfort of contemporary living. Inside, wooden floors and exposed timber beams reveal the strength and honesty of the original structure. Natural light softly weaves through the spaces, highlighting textures and materials that tell their own story. The kitchen, at the heart of the home, blends function and beauty in a welcoming atmosphere. From every window, the mountain views invite calm, reflection, and gratitude. More than a renovation, this project is a dialogue between memory and modernity, between raw materials and refined details. . . .
