Happy summer from all of us at ORG.

As the pace of projects slows for a few weeks, we’re taking a short summer break to pause, reflect, and return with fresh perspectives.

Thank you to our clients, collaborators, and partners for being part of the journey so far this year.

We wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to continuing our work together when we’re in August. by @we_are_org

Lilongwe’s Center for Agricultural Transformation demonstrates how architecture can support agricultural innovation and community exchange. Located on the NRC Campus, Malawi’s first research and development facility for sustainable agriculture brings together farmers, researchers, students, and entrepreneurs around a shared platform for learning and collaboration.

Defined by five copper-clad roofs that echo the Lilongwe valley, the building combines a strong architectural identity with passive climate strategies.
Daylight, natural ventilation, and solar protection reduce energy demand while creating comfortable spaces adapted to the local climate.

Construction of the new Knokke-Heist Fire Station is getting close to completion.

The building is organized around two volumes, a civic building and an operational depot, with its L-shaped configuration clearly structures public and operational functions.

Its compact form is defined by a distinctive façade of CO₂-negative diamond-shaped bricks, giving the station a strong and recognizable identity within the emerging civic landscape. by @we_are_org

Last month, we officially inaugurated Africa’s first Agri-PV with integrated desalination water system in Habiba, Nuweiba, Egypt !

This marks an important step in Nuweiba’s transition towards zero carbon Water-Energy-Food systems and climate resilient agriculture.

As one of two pilot sites within the project, this first implementation plays a critical role in testing how integrated systems can operate in arid environments. More than a local intervention, the project functions as a demonstration platform contributing to a long-term vision in which the Water–Energy–Food nexus can drive impactful solutions for similar regions worldwide.

The system is developed within the framework of the Regenerative Deserts project, with partners Habiba Community, 3E, engazaat and the Center of Water excellence at Alexandria University and is co-funded by the Vlaamse overheid in the Flanders International Climate Action Programme (FICAP). by @we_are_org

Jules Ruhl’s east side intervention are finished!

Part of ORG and BBS’ Beeldkwaliteitsplan, Jules Ruhl transforms a steep, fragmented site into an inclusive, green public space that links the Delacroix metro station, the Ropsy Chaudron Bridge, and the canal.

This intervention supports both climate adaptation and everyday urban life in Anderlecht, according to the principles laid out in the Beeldkwaliteitsplan “BKP" for the canal. by @we_are_org

As projects have grown in complexity, so has our way of working. Design is our medium but it is the method behind it, bridging data and diplomacy, that defines us.

Cities, infrastructures and landscapes are increasingly interconnected and the challenges shaping them no longer belong to a single discipline or scale.

One year after its completion, we’re happy to see how the Elsa Frison project has naturally integrated into Anderlecht.

ORG redeveloped the site into an coherent and welcoming public space, addressing key challenges for the Brussels-Capital Region : inclusive use, balanced mobility, water management, and the integration of sport and landscape.

The project is part of ORG and Bureau Bas Smets’ broader master plan for Biestebroek, and follows the principles of the Beeldkwaliteitsplan, also developed by ORG and Bureau Bas Smets for the entire Brussels canal zone.

At ORG, we hold internal gatherings called ORG Talks to discuss ongoing projects and initiatives, fostering knowledge-sharing amongst ORGers. These sessions offer unique insights into our work, and we’re happy to share extracts from these conversations to provide a deeper understanding of the scope of our efforts and the way we work.

On Monday February 2nd, Jelle Potters, project leader and architect at ORG, presented the Maria Middelares hospital project.

To develop a master plan for a hospital site that would align with the City of Ghent’s vision for a future-oriented healthcare facility, ORG conducted an extensive analysis of healthcare environments, both past and present.

This analysis resulted in a framework that balances the integration of CURE and CARE programs. To do so, diverse levels of care, such as revalidation centers, rehabilitation centers, and transition houses, are incorporated alongside investments in Medtech facilities. This concept extends beyond the hospital itself, toward a broader, comprehensive “Future of Health” embedded in the city. by @we_are_org

These sessions offer unique insights into our work, and we’re happy to share extracts from these conversations to provide a deeper understanding of the scope of our efforts and the way we work.

On Monday January 25th, Senne Heylen, architect at ORG, presented the Oostbrug project, an urbanism project for the Municipality of Amsterdam done in collaboration with Solv.

ORG was appointed to develop a shared solution together with Rijkswaterstaat and the Municipality of Amsterdam for a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge on the eastern side of the city: the Oostbrug.

The bridge will connect the Hamerkwartier in Amsterdam North with Azartplein in Amsterdam East, significantly improving day-and-night connections between the north of Amsterdam and the rest of the city.
