FR oPla est un atelier d’architecture fondé en 2011 par trois associés belges et portugais.
Installé au cœur de RecyK, plateforme circulaire de Bruxelles-Propreté, le bureau développe une pratique qui relie architecture, fabrication, matérialité et économie circulaire.
Notre travail explore les questions fondamentales de l’architecture :
espaces, formes, usages, matières, lumière, ombre, fabrication.
Nous expérimentons depuis plusieurs années des stratégies de réemploi, de démontabilité et de réactivation de bâtiments existants.
Ces préoccupations se retrouvent dans des projets tels que :
• l’aménagement du plateau de RecyK,
• le cityfab1 à Greenbizz,
• le magasin Bidules (lunettes circulaires) à côté de Bozar,
• les espaces d’accueil de hub.brussels chaussée de Charleroi,
• de nombreux projets de logements, équipements et transformations.
Notre approche est pragmatique, contextuelle et collaborative, attentive aux ressources disponibles et à l’impact réel des projets.
EN oPla is an architecture studio founded in 2011 by three Belgian and Portuguese partners.
Based at the heart of RecyK, the circular platform of Bruxelles-Propreté, the office develops a practice that connects architecture, fabrication, materiality, and circular economy.**
Our work explores the fundamental questions of architecture:
space, form, use, matter, light, shadow, fabrication.
For several years, we have been experimenting with strategies of **reuse**, **reversibility**, and the reactivation of existing buildings.
These concerns are reflected in projects such as:
• the development of the RecyK platform,
• cityfab1 at Greenbizz,
• the Bidules store (circular eyewear) next to Bozar,
• the reception spaces of hub.brussels on chaussée de Charleroi,
• and numerous housing, public facility, and transformation projects.
Our approach is **pragmatic, contextual, and collaborative**, attentive to available resources and to the real impact of each project.
