The project Palazzo Rubens is concerned with the transformation of the iconic Rubenshuis in Antwerp, whilst also working within the year theme for the chair if Interiors, Buildings, Cities; that of "The Intimate City".

The project is a design for a community crafts centre in Antwerp. Researching the meaning of Institution in the Intimate City, the resulting project is one that conveys an atmosphere of intimacy through the notions of Geometry, Materiality and Identity, while being well insterted in the cultural, physical, historical, and temporal context and the collective identity of its inhabitants.

The Roosenberg Abbey in the Flanders village of Waasmunster needs to get a new function. The new owner of the building is the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven), who envisions a campus on the site (Campus Roosenberg). The campus that the KU Leuven envisions should be a study- and congresscenter focused on the domain of reflection and should be a breeding ground for new education forms.
