The office was created in 2013 by Philippe de Grasse and Nicolas Delfosse, both certified civil engineers, as a SPRL (limited liability partnership company), dealing with public and private cases for new buildings and restorations, as well as expert assignments related to stability. To date, about 120 cases have been undertaken at a current rate of around 80 cases per year. Owner M. & Mme Schretter - De Volder Architect M. Gilles Schretter Engineering Office Forme & Structure sprl Construction Period 09/2015 - 02/2016 This single-family housing project aims to combine the characteristics of the locational aspects (land, built environment, orientation, etc.) and the future occupants (family organisation, etc.). The building marks the transition between the geometric public space and the organic private space. This transition is reflected in the organisation of the plan, the composition of the facade and the volume. The front facade facing north is closed and geometric, and accommodates the technical functions (entrance hall, circulation, laundry, bathroom), while the rear facade facing south is open and curved, and is dedicated to life functions (living room, kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, etc.). The construction remains part of the environment, while trying to bring sense to the spaces. Construction Family House - Dion-le-Mont, Belgium AP Forme & Structure sprl
