A playful and thought-provoking installation in Old Quebec. In the heart of Old Quebec, just steps from the historic fortifications, a unique installation comes to life within the city's iconic staircases. Titled Un jeu d’enfant! (Child's Play!), this work is inspired by the colorful building blocks that children manipulate with boundless creativity. Based on the play sessions of two young girls, Estelle and Lili, aged 3 and 5, the... More

GZC Tilburg
A health care system in which windows of different sizes provide a playful rhythm.
Dignified replacement
The existing health center on Conservatoriumlaan is making way for a new health center, offering more space and a more modern appearance that complements the adjacent buildings. B-invented is responsible for the design and engineering, commissioned by the delegated developer BuiltbyDeWild. The realization has been carried out by the sister company B-happy Realization. Windows on the floors create a playful rhythm in three different sizes. An exception is the stunning large window above the entrance, providing a view of Conservatoriumlaan.

Project • By Dalecki Design • Private Houses
The Alma
The owners of ‘The Alma’ approached Dalecki Design to breathe new life into their newly acquired 1940s duplex, nestled on a corner site in North Perth. Moving from their suburban family home to enjoy a new phase of their lives, the couple was drawn to the inner city suburb’s bustling scene of cafes, shops, bars and live music venues. Conceived as a dynamic adult’s retreat, ‘The Alma’ echoes this urban spirit, while embodying the clients’ shared love of art, architecture, and design.

Apartment Belle vie
When designing the Belle Vie Apartment, we drew inspiration from the dynamic lifestyle and sophisticated taste of our clients – a young, modern family. The apartment is divided into a main living area, multiple bedrooms and a bathroom. Our main concern was the fluidity and interconnectedness of the main living area, which was achieved by adding a unified ceramic coating to the wall dividing the entrance and the living area. The sophisticated ceramics with its natural texture and timelessness further emphasizes the monumentality of the load-bearing wall and transforms into the interior's main element – its texture and colour dictated the colour palette of all other furnishings. Another wonderful detail connecting the apartment in... More

Flower Pin
Slim, playful, organic, frivolous: all terms which can perfectly be applied to this new and stylish outdoor lighting system.

The system is easy to integrate into shrub and plant borders, but is equally graceful sited at the edge of your lawn. More
