We are a2o, a multidisciplinary team of designers.
Across our complementary expertise and skills, we are connected by shared values.
Our expertise covers architecture, urban landscaping, detailed and spatial transitions.
a2o is a breeding ground for innovation. We seek innovation to raise the levels of collective value, social engagement and sustainability in our projects.
To do so, we create an ‘open research area’ for ourselves, our clients and our design partners, in which we conduct spatial experiments: a lab where we can imagine and test the spatial impact and societal benefits.
Our approach is tailored to the complex and layered reality of today, in which we systematically seek to unveil hidden opportunities. This open research area is facilitated by the interdisciplinary expertise of the team and by the way we work in our physical working environment.
Our main office - de Silo in Hasselt - is a co-working space that we share with other creative businesses and cultural organizations. With our office in Brussels, we are placed in the heart of the dynamic capital of Europe, where we use temporary co-working environments to keep exploring new networks and environments. Our approach prevents us from getting trapped in unimaginative processes, generic solutions or architectural arbitrariness. Our investigative attitude not only constitutes the basis of each project, it also aims at a high degree of reflection and capacity building within the team.
