"I feel the most beautiful and most wonderful work in the world to design a family living environment - and deliberately do not mention house, but the environment, which is as much a part of the house itself and its narrower and wider environment as well as the nature, even the residents, the impact on humans - could be the artist's creative architect and engineer seeking logical solutions.

This complexity pervades the entire process of planning, need to see the full realization of the very first sketch, the first stage of visualization, you have to know exactly the builder needs, habits, the built and the natural environment. During the design process we prepare the construction budget, so we have to start to track costs, probably due to this that I have designed more than two hundred houses have been built respectively.

Houses modern vibe, cleared reflect the 21st century world with fresh thinking, cozy, elegant lightly, and I am convinced that this architectural sense are very durable. "

"The building stands at Transvaalstraat 45, Kontich, Belgium, not far from Antwerpen. It was bought as an investment by Frank Van Asch, a contractor that renovates old, and builds new houses - www.meva-bouw.be. Modeling was done by Wannes Malaise www.ornata.be.

The façade and the roof of this building was kept, because they were in generally good condition; the whole building was designed around these given parts. The façade is not straight, neither is the building itself, and this made the design very difficult.
Frank has a fantastic knowledge on how to build and construct - adding a glassed patio was a great idea of his, it brings light and air to the rooms. However, it also made things more difficult in the building and design process, as everything had to be isolated well.

Frank works together with a lot of people and he wanted to try to do this building in a BIM model to see if this could help in the building process and in the communication of the plans. It's an advantage that with BIM modeling you can see the whole process. You can prevent mistakes and let the client see the 3D model. "
