Schellen+ Architecten

A passionate pursuit of QUALITY based on the conviction that the quality of our living and working environment has a direct influence on the quality of life.

The CONCEPT of our designs grows out of the analysis of the assignment and the study of the environment. The approach is both rational and intuitive. The more complex this thought game, the greater the challenge.

A search for the essence of architecture with the key words SUSTAINABILITY, SENSE OF SPACE and LIGHT EMISSION.

The INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH from urban design to interior architecture guarantees thorough knowledge from the general master plan down to the smallest interior detail.

Close COOPERATION WITH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS Stability and special techniques enable us to realise large projects within a very short period.

BUDGET CONTROL and PLANNING are closely monitored at every stage.

Schellen Architecten bvba translates the social, economic and ecological dimensions of sustainability into 10 priorities. The order of these criteria is not unimportant:

spatial design criteria (concept)

correct choice of the building site
context, orientation, microclimate
compartmentalisation, zoning, compactness
functional, flexible, adaptable, expandable, encroaching

CONSTRUCTION TECHNICAL DESIGN CRITERIA (smart building)

High thermal insulation, complete air and wind tightness
blinds + cooling
sustainable materials with a minimal impact on the environment

INSTALLATION TECHNICAL DESIGN CRITERIA (techniques)

efficient mechanical ventilation
efficient heating and hot water production
rational use of electricity and water
