Linked togetherLong associated with an industrial district, this part of the 13th district of Paris is undergoing a major transformation. The ground is an artificial slab created to cover a railway station. Today it is a project of stone, terracotta and wood that will rise. It will participate in the reintroduction of the earth and biodiversity in the... More

Railway Station
The city of Likasi, South-Eastern city of the D.R. Congo, is known to have been established in 1917 mainly for the use of its railway infrastructures to connect the industrial areas around the city. The existing station building, which was built in 1954, and which essentially served only the eastern part of the city (since the eastern part of the city was attached to the outskirts of the existing city at that time), was to be rebuilt in 20 years after its construction. The new conceptual project takes into consideration the actual situation within the city, with two main entrances on both sides of the city and responding to the need for an increasing passenger traffic demand, providing a modern level of passenger service.

Sorenne
FAMILIAR LINES
The Sorenne is the culmination of several decades of building stoves. The lines from the HL1 from 1979 are visible in the design.
The technology in this stove is a collection of all the choice morsels from the products we consider old friends. Tried and tested combustion technology and a rock-solid construction, that is the Sorenne.
TURN YOUR FIRE
The Sorenne comes with a turning option. This feature has been constructed in such a way that the air slider is always on the front. This is really ideal if the Sorenne is free-standing.
The turning circle can be set during fitting at 120° or 360°.
SLOW HEAT
The Sorenne can be supplied with two optional big Plus Prisolith blocks. They are fitted in the... More
Lynne
SURPRISINGWe wanted a new model that was both familiar and surprising. We did it with the Lynne.
From a distance, you recognise the Leenders lines of a stove in perfect balance. Quiet on the wall.
As you come closer, the surprising details reveal themselves. Like the vector facets on the rear casing, making the suspended stove even more spatial.
Lynne is one of the few rotatable suspended stoves in the world. Quite surprising.
DURABLEThe Lynne is made in our region and has been developed in such a way that the consumable parts can be replaced. To be able to estimate the sustainability of a new stove, it is logical when purchasing it to think about replacing things that might break. We believe something is only sustainable when it can be...

Lobbe Compact
EVEN MORE COMPACTWe have made the Lobbe even more compact. Shortened the foot a tad, pared a little off the side tiles and hung it on the wall. Voilà, the Lobbe Compact.HEARTHThe Lobbe is a stove, but we think that the Lobbe Compact is a real hearth. Just a little lighter and definitely more spatial. Ideal for a more modestly proportioned room, with the corresponding heat requirements. Because the Lobbe Compact burns perfectly with very little timber. A half kilogramme per hour to be exact.SLOW HEARTHWe have made the side tiles from special fire concrete, Prisolith. So that the Lobbe Compact radiates delicious soft warmth. This is the same technology that we have used for many years for the Mats and Boxer Plus.Once it has reached operating... More
Lobbe
The archetypal design of the Lobbe takes us back-to-basics. This cutey is enhanced with the latest technologies. Sophisticated combustion and solid side bricks that slowly release the heat. The completely firebrick-lined combustion chamber burns brilliantly even on a single log, which is why the Lobbe is so suitable for smaller spaces.LITTLE BROTHERBoxer Plus and Mats have a little brother, Lobbe. Despite his modest size (height 80cm) he stands his ground. He is going to have to with two such tough big brothers.Of course that he is adorable helps him no end.1/2KG WOODLobbe is our only stove that can stay at operating temperature with just 1/2 kg of firewood an hour. That really is not much at all and quite exceptional. Thanks to all the sto... More
Dayna
Dayna is a slender fire place that burns with long full flames. We made this elegant design using extra thick heavy-duty steel. An armoured mantle that protects the fire. Dayna also revolves with rear flue and can be supplied with the PLUS heat storage set.EFFORTLESS BEAUTYIf a stove could be a woman, then the Dayna is a lady. Elegantly and with effortless beauty she presents her fire.Because she can revolve, everyone can enjoy her.Dayna is also available with a rear flue and yet can still revolve.GRACEFUL SIMPLICITYThe Dayna’s rear casing and door lend their contours to the top and sides. The shape is picked out with just a few lines. That might sound simple, but the road to simplicity is always longer.At least for us it is.ROBUST DAYNAThe... More

C&P Corporate Headquarters
A real estate company’s corporate headquarters, located at the city’s highest traffic entrance, brings clarity and conciseness and acts as a new landmark to a transitioning industrial area within an emerging district.
The projects main ambition was to create an authentic example of “Built Identity” within the context of a seven-story building, incorporating the client’s logo icon throughout the building elevation.
The project name, CUBEND, translates firm values by unifying the words “cube,” relating to wholeness and persistence, plus “bend,” standing for movement and dynamics. Organized as a cube and divided by a curved atrium across all floors, the building consists of a glass-domina... More
