컬렉션: Caroline Voet
Caroline Voet is a Belgian based architect. She loves to design and make spaces and objects, crossing the borders between architecture, design, scenography and graphic expression.
She works on a range of projects for clients as het Vlaams Architectuur Instituut (the Flemish Architecture Institute) and Arts Centre De Singel. All her projects are driven by a strong passion: to create something beautiful, to turn everyday rituals into a wonderful experience. Careful attention to the users’ needs and a personal approach guarantee a unique translation of functional demands and economic requirements.
Space fits like a pair of favourite gloves.
Over the years, Caroline Voet built up a profound knowledge on spatial qualities and the design process, both from her passion as a designer as well as her experience as a teacher and researcher. She studied architecture in Antwerp, Belgium before attending a Masters at the Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association in London, where she graduated with honours. Her thesis project ‘Fyber Space’ was awarded the Alex Stanhope Forbes Price.
She learned her skills at Zaha Hadid Architects in London and Christian Kieckens Architects in Brussels. Back in Belgium, she received the 2001 Godecharles Award.
In 2004, she founded her own office in Antwerp. Her first project, the reconversion of two houses in Hopland, Antwerp, received the Monumenten- en Welstandsprijs 2006. Between 2006 and 2011 she co-founded Voet Theuns architecten, working on a range of projects from furniture and museum interiors to schools and social housing. Since 2012, she started her own practice, focussing on high quality design projects.
Architecture and design practice have always been combined with teaching and research. She focuses on design strategies, aesthetics and architectural theory and methodology. Main research topic is Dom Hans van der Laan’s Architectonic Space.
