For , material choices are never an afterthought, they're part of the design process from day one.

From the very first sketches of this project in Dendermonde, Heylen Ceramics joined the conversation to help shape a façade that would soften the strict geometry of the architecture while adding rhythm and texture to the volume.

Together, architect and supplier went back to the source, visiting the artisanal brick factory Klinkers to compose the right blend for the project. A mix of Rock Fort Extra Wit and Lambermont Extra Wit, spread across different formats, became the foundation of a façade that feels both precise and natural.

A project built on dialogue, craftsmanship and a shared obsession for detail.

A classic material, used with a very precise twist.

In Dendermonde, Reid Senepart Architects designed a home that plays with contrast: modest towards the street, open towards the landscape and shaped by a shifted upper floor that brings extra lightness to the volume.

The façade tells that story in brick. Together with Heylen Ceramics, the architects selected a carefully balanced mix of Rock Fort Extra Wit and Lambermont Extra Wit in three formats. Different lengths and heights create a lively, almost natural rhythm, while the full pattern was mapped out in advance to get every detail right.

The result is a façade that feels calm at first glance, but reveals its complexity the closer you look.

If you're ever walking through the Meerstraat in Dendermonde, you'll come across a façade that isn't mirroring the traditional terraced house, but enters into dialogue with its surroundings. Together with Reid Senepart Architects, we combined different bricks in different formats, creating a subtle broken-stone effect full of rhythm, texture and depth.

A compact front keeps the streetscape light, while the shifted upper floor adds rhythm, air and movement to the volume.
That same thoughtful approach continues in the façade, every brick was drawn in advance, with a carefully defined layer rhythm shaped in part by the mathematical mind of the client. The result? Façade views in which every single brick was visible, with quantities counted through a spreadsheet to define the exact mix.

Together with Heylen Ceramics, the Reid Senepart architects selected a composition that softens the clean lines of the design: 80% Rock Fort Extra White and 20% Lambermont Extra White, spread across three formats: WF, HF and WDF. By deliberately combining different lengths and heights, the façade gains a lively texture that feels playful, natural and architecturally considered.

Belgium remains a brick country, but the future of our façades is becoming lighter.

Ceramic brick slips are rapidly gaining ground: they offer the look of brick, but with the technical freedom that architects, clients and contractors need today. Where traditional façades reach their limits, brick slips open up new possibilities.

Particularly in renovation, insulation and complex structures, they are increasingly proving to be the smart, forward-looking solution.

A calm, refined home in Schilde, designed by Frederik Dierckxsens, where architecture and landscape move in sync.

The design opens up towards a series of carefully framed outdoor spaces, creating a natural flow between inside and out while maintaining a strong sense of privacy.
For the façade, Chippermix was used to achieve a soft, mineral finish. This chipping technique, applied with a thin, specialized mortar, adds depth and a subtle texture that shifts beautifully with the light.

A material choice that quietly brings everything together.

At , the floor defines the character of the lounge.

Médoc brick slips introduce the depth and nuance of traditional brickwork in a lighter construction. With a thickness of just two centimetres, they retain the material’s tactility and rhythm while allowing for greater architectural flexibility.

Produced from the same ceramic raw materials as façade bricks, the slips carry the same textures and hand-moulded variations. The result is brickwork that feels familiar, yet responds to contemporary building needs.

Authentic is back. After years of monochrome minimalism, warmer clay tones and natural textures are taking the lead.

Across leading projects, terracotta, olive, warm grey, sand and soft clay tones are increasingly present. This shift is no coincidence. In a fast-moving world, architecture turns again towards materials that offer depth, tactility and a sense of permanence, chosen not only for their character, but for their durability and long-term relevance. The monochrome minimalism of recent years is making room for warmer clay tones and natural textures.
