The remarkable growth of recent years has certainly also been stimulated by a strong vision, in which there is also room for emotions, and by an exceptional diversity of realised projects in residential and office construction. Conix Architects recently attracted attention thanks to their very successful and tasteful renovation and redesign of the Brussels Atomium. Moreover, no other firm can provide more references along the quays of Antwerp. This book shows a selection of recent realisations.
