Freek Dendooven, Gijs De Cock and Jon D’haenens studied together at the Ghent School of Arts, worked in various key local firms and then set up as Raamwerk in 2014. The trio’s aesthetic is influenced by the use of off-the-shelf and recycled materials, while each project is also characterised by a ‘network of specialist advisers’ that help the partners expand their knowledge. In the works are a private residence in Belsele, and a youth centre in Lichtervelde.
