Defesche Van den Putte aims to design the best buildings imaginable. Buildings that are firmly rooted in their surroundings, have a clear spatial structure, and communicate their function. Buildings that are restrained and timeless and that fuel the imagination. In this way the office makes a valuable contribution to the time and place in which we live and work. dvdp works on assignments in the field of architecture, urban design, interior design and furniture design. An important principle in all projects is the connection between all these scales. Keenly aware of the role of the designer, dvdp operates in a spatial, social and political context. The office therefore attaches great importance to the combination of craftsmanship and creative power in formulating often unexpected yet always fitting responses to design questions. New solutions and forms of expression give each project its architectural idiom and visual power. Characteristic aspects of every project are the careful choice of materials and technically accomplished elaboration down to the smallest detail. In the rapidly changing processes of development and construction, dvdp confidently adopts a proactive attitude. Collaboration and versatility are essential skills in that regard. Strongly committed to quality, the office succeeds in bringing together the various parties involved. Defesche Van den Putte was founded in 2016 after a merger between the offices jefvandenputte architectuur and OD205 architectuur bv. Many years of history and experience provide a solid professional foundation and fertile climate for innovation, expertise and management in the design and construction field.
