Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects

Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects is an architecture office in Sint-Andries, Bruges, in Belgium, led by partners Damiaan Vanhoutte and Benny Govaert. The team brings together architects, interior architects, engineer architects, a BIM specialist and communications staff, allowing the office to follow a project from first sketch to finished interior.

Its work is organised around residential, multi-residential and corporate projects, alongside competitions and other commissions. The office describes its approach through a reference to Malevich and suprematism: the ambition to reach an abstract dimension made of proportion, modulation, composition and balance. Every scheme starts from a functional analysis of the programme and the surroundings, combined with an artistic vision, to arrive at a concept linked to its content and its location.
