Our vision

You challenge
You can come to us with your unique project and your ambitions.
We take on the challenge of creating added value for people, society, nature and the climate.

We rethink
With an open mind we analyse the context and the history of the site.
We dare to question the programme and your expectations and think out-of-the-box.
We investigate the strengths and weaknesses and translate them into powerful concepts.

Together we create
We do this together. From our shared passion.
In open dialogue with governments, specialists, manufacturers and researchers.
In participation with users and local residents.

We create something unique, tailor-made and timeless.
Subtle and self-evident.
With room for emotion and imagination.
We arrive at an integrated, inclusive and generous project.
From concept to detail. From masterplan to interior.

History

Under its current name, B2Ai has existed since 2017. The roots of our group of architects lie in Brussels and West Flanders. In 1979, the late Hendrik Vermoortel founded the renowned BURO II. Four years later, the renowned Brussels-based ARCHI+I of Philémon Wachtelaer saw the light of day. In 2009, BURO II started a studio in Ghent. Based on shared values and ambition, BURO II and ARCHI+I merged in 2011 to become an architectural office with three locations. Since 2017, the agency has stood for its people-oriented approach under the name B2Ai. The partner structure with four partners was abandoned in March 2018 for a management team with CEO and single shareholding.
