ddAr is a Brussels-based architectural practice with over a decade of international design experience. We are dedicated to creating distinctive building expressions and experiences, grounded in a deep understanding of each client’s unique needs as a fundamental aspect of the design process.

Our philosophy centers on designing buildings from the inside out, with careful attention to site-specific elements such as zoning regulations, urban typologies, topography, orientation, and views. We foster a harmonious relationship between architecture and the natural environment.

We see the built environment as a continuous unfolding experience.
