Akurad law office in Roeselare, Belgium by Declerck – Daels, ArchitectenSeptember 16th, 2020 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Declerck – Daels, Architecten Akurad law office erected a unique and hybrid building in the small port of Roeselare, an industrial and busy area along the canal. The project is an example of a sustainable re-use of an abandoned site. The new office has the same footprint as the former warehouse. The building consists of three playful volumes, stacked in different angles. It is remarkable, refined and very uncommon compared to the industrial surrounding. Both massive and light, open and intimate.  Image Courtesy © Tim Van de Velde

Even though the privacy of their clients is secured. The main emphasis of the project was to open up the building to its surroundings, with an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and uncluttered office space. Each room has its framed view on the neighbourhood.

The first floor will be occupied by the staff of Akurad, whilst the ground level will be to let for the first years. The three levels facing the canal accommodates the reception and a meeting room at ground level, meeting rooms on the first floor, and a multipurpose room on the second floor.That open room serves as a training room, a refectory or a classy event room.
