Exquisite Installations Unwind Strands of Ropes into Delicate Trees

Theaters Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre

In the early 20th century, following the development of the entertainment industry, hundreds of theaters were built across North America. Major entertainment firms and movie studios commissioned specialized architects to build grandiose and extravagant auditoriums.

From the 60’s, TV, multiplexes and urban crisis made them obsolete. During the following decades, these theaters were either modernized, transformed into adult cinemas or they closed, one after the other; many of them were simply demolished. Those which remain, escaping this fate, have been converted to serve varied purposes.

Now, many are reused as churches, retail spaces, flea markets, bingo halls, discos, supermarkets or warehouses. Some are waiting for a restoration and some others just sit abandoned.

VVD II Residence Vincent Van Duysen

This old townhouse, with former notaries offices was simplified and restructured and natural daylight was let in everywhere. A former courtyard was opened up again at the kitchen and the existing tarmac notaries carpark was turned into a rigorous urban garden featuring a square pool made of Belgian blue stone.

Once the structural work was completed and everything was painted white, the refining of the details and spaces could begin. Essence, abstraction and purity formed the leitmotif to create this house.
