#CSARCHITECTS

Low-tech design

Winner of the international competition organized by Vlaams Bouwmeester and Leiedal (Open Call) for the construction of a low-tech office building in Kortrijk, Belgium, the project represents our approach to a holistic and low-tech design and works on the essence construction and minimum plant equipment, obtaining maximum living comfort. The project criticizes sustainable design that aims to add super-performing glass facades, green-washing or photovoltaic panels on the roof to the building, often hiding the lack of quality of the design itself. With its thick inhabited walls, the new office building for Leiedal is a building for the next 200 years: inhabited by people and plants, it becomes a metaphor of the search for a new equilibrium to inhabit the planet. https://www.leiedal.be/nieuws/leiedal-timmert-aan-slimme-verdichting-met-nieuw-kantoorgebouw
