Architects Directory Alumni: Notary office by Govaert & Vanhoutte
The Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, this summer, we're looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. This new office building in Belgium's Bruges is the work of 2007 Architects Directory alumnus Govaert & Vanhoutte, as well as a balanced, minimalist, glass and concrete composition of cool and warm, light and dark.
