Guided by a clear design philosophy, the architecture by Govaert & Vanhoutte Architects is characterized by functionality in concept, simplicity in complexity, and the context as a guiding element. As a result, their designs are timeless in aesthetics, establishing an authentic architectural identity that is recognized both nationally and internationally.

The monograph includes an in-depth introduction into the firm and its two founding partners, Benny Govaert & Damiaan Vanhoutte, outlining their architectural upbringing and how it influences the way they think and design architecture to this day. Numerous architectural projects are presented through photographs, plans and sketches, including uncompleted and conceptual projects, revealing their long-term dedication, consistency, authenticity and passion for the art of architecture.

Benny Govaert and Damiaan Vanhoutte are the founding partners of Govaert & Vanhoutte architects, established in Belgium in 1989. The office centers around residential architecture, engaged in the dialogue between architecture, functionality, and nature.
