He then followed master's programmes at the universities of Valencia and Istanbul, obtaining his master's degree in Antwerp in 2010. As a newly graduated architect, Dieter vander Velpen worked at several well-known national and international architecture firms, including a leading practice in London. In 2013 he founded his own practice: Dieter vander Velpen Architects, based in Antwerp. What began as a one-man business grew within a short time into a flourishing practice with a full team. Together they are responsible for the most exceptional projects, both in Belgium and abroad, including Tel Aviv, Portugal, Brazil and New York. In New York, the practice also has an address it shares with other Belgian start-ups.

Understated luxury

The Belgian architecture practice specialises in the realisation of high-end interiors and architecture. The focus is on residential projects, including new builds and renovations, with the occasional venture into special projects in the hospitality sector. In addition to the complete architecture, Dieter vander Velpen Architects also takes on the entire interior design; from the concept down to the smallest details, loose decoration and advice on art. The style of the practice is characterised by a sense of understated luxury, expressed through clean lines and luxurious materialisation, such as marble, brass and copper – classic materials applied in a modern way. Every project is highly refined and detailed, with everything designed and selected bespoke for the client. This concept of ‘haute couture’ forms the common thread in all projects. Dieter: “I always enjoy adding exciting elements to a design and enriching it with special art, for example by young Belgian artists. Combined with our own design style, this creates a project with a beautiful harmony.”

Collaboration with Culimaat

When it comes to collaboration, Dieter vander Velpen Architects also goes for the best of the best. Prior to the realisation of architecture and/or an interior, a careful selection of high-quality partners often takes place. One of these partners is Culimaat. The high-end kitchen company on the collaboration with Dieter vander Velpen Architects: “Together we aimed for the absolute top, and here we certainly reached it.”
