DMTR Architecture

Studio

DMTR Architecture is a design studio from Ghent, founded by Dimitri Vroonen.

The studio works on contemporary homes, refurbishments, renovations and adaptive reuse projects. Every project starts from the place, the existing structure, the way it is used and the budget. Not from excess, but from clear choices that strengthen space, light and material.

Context / licht / materiaal

Architecture from the existing context

Many projects do not start from a blank page. A house, plot, street, structure or existing materiality is often already present. DMTR starts from that context and looks for interventions that strengthen existing qualities.

Door gericht te openen, te herschikken en te vereenvoudigen ontstaat ruimte die logisch aanvoelt en duurzaam werkt op lange termijn. Light, views, circulation and material use play a central role.

A small-scale studio, directly involved

DMTR is deliberately small-scale. This creates short communication lines, direct contact and strong involvement in every project. As a client, you work directly with the architect who designs the project, follows the choices and helps guard the process.

This way of working makes it possible to move quickly, communicate clearly and weigh design decisions against budget, feasibility and execution.

Direct contact

You communicate directly with the architect.

Heldere keuzes

Design, budget en uitvoering worden samen afgewogen.

Betrokken opvolging

From first idea to permit and execution, spatial quality remains central.

Where DMTR is strong

From compact townhouse to new-build, from renovation to adaptive reuse: the approach remains the same. Clear spatial choices, attention to budget and a design that remains buildable.

Renovation and refurbishment

Existing homes are reworked with respect for their structure, daylight and character.

New build

Clear contemporary homes with attention to place, orientation, material and budget.

Stadswoningen

Compact plots require smart interventions, strong spatial quality and careful use of light.

Herbestemming

Existing buildings receive a new future through precise architectural interventions.

Interior en maatwerk

Space, material and use are carried through into the details.

Garden en buitenruimte

Inside and outside are designed as one whole, with attention to calm, privacy and experience.

Dimitri Vroonen

Dimitri Vroonen studeerde architecture aan KU Leuven en verdiepte zich verder in architecture, landschap en stedenbouw aan de Universidad de Ibagué en Kingston University. Voor de oprichting van DMTR werkte hij bij GRAUX & BAEYENS Architecten.

Die achtergrond vertaalt zich in een aanpak waarin architecture, context, landschap, materiaal en detail samen worden bekeken.
