Office

ARCAS Architect is an office for architecture and
urbanism based in Knokke-Heist, Paris and Gdansk.

With over 30 years of experience in architecture and urban planning and over 1000 projects, Arcas Architect has built up an extensive know-how in residential real estate projects and masterplanning. Arcas Architect is a partner to design strategies within particular social, climate and cultural contexts, combining both urbanism and architecture.

We provide solutions for new neighbourhoods and buildings in urban, suburban and rural settings and take on a design approach to the complex questions of creating vibrant communities.

Realisations range from residential towers and single-family houses to beach resorts, care centres, neighbourhood planning and multi-functional developments. Projects cover a wide variety of scales and complex urban questions.

ARCAS strongly believes that a solid familiarity with history and climate of a region is essential in conceptualising architecture that is optimally suited to its place. We stimulate creating lively streets by architectural and stylistic variety and by planning for a healthy mix of uses.

Designs envision the importance of urban quarters at the pedestrian size and the necessity to build polycentric centres. A non-dogmatic design approach aims to create places and environments with benefits beyond the design contour and project brief.
