AUTHOR: Hannes Van Damme and Benoît Vandeputte founded the achitectural firm Van Damme-Vandeputte five years ago and in that short time they have already built an impressive portfolio with a wide range of architectural projects: new residential constructions tailored to the client's needs, sustainable and high-quality renovations, interior design with special detailing, offices and corporate sites built with, among other things, great attention to the integration into the surroundings, and restorations of (protected) heritage sites. As an architecture and interior design photographer, Thomas De Bruyne (Cafeine.be) works for the greatest designers, architects and interior design companies in Belgium and abroad.

Rather than being a collection of architectural achievements, Morphē by Van Damme • Vandeputte Architects transcends the boundaries of traditional portfolios. As such, it delves deeper into the architects’ journey, becoming an ode to the power of architecture to instigate change, shape environments, and evoke a symphony of emotions that resonate deep within the human soul. Morphē, meaning ‘form’ or ‘shape’, encapsulates this transformative essence, inviting readers to test the boundless realms of architecture.
