Schellen+ Architecten

A passionate pursuit of quality, driven by the conviction that the quality of our living and working environment has a direct impact on the quality of life.

The concept behind our designs grows from a close analysis of the brief and a study of the surrounding context. Our approach is both rational and intuitive. The more complex the challenge, the greater the opportunity.

A search for the essence of architecture, guided by the keywords sustainability, spatial quality and light perception.

The interdisciplinary approach, from urban design to interior architecture, guarantees in-depth knowledge ranging from the overall master plan to the smallest interior detail.

Close collaboration with specialist consultants in structural engineering and technical systems enables us to deliver large projects within very short timeframes.

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 insignificant:

spatial design criteria (concept)

appropriate choice of building site
context, orientation, microclimate
compartmentalization, zoning, compactness
functional, flexible, adaptable, expandable, intervention-aware

construction-technical design criteria (smart building)

high thermal insulation, complete air and wind tightness
sun shading + cooling
sustainable materials with minimal environmental impact

installation-technical design criteria (building services)

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