Belgium's most sustainable retail park. BREEAM Excellent. CO2-neutral operations. Malinas in Mechelen generates more energy than it consumes.

6.300 solar panels, 13.000m² green roof, and a 1,2-hectare natural reed field that doubles as rainwater buffer.

27.500m² of retail space, fully leased since opening. Architecture that works commercially while meeting the highest environmental standards.

Our collaborative spirit runs deep in who we are.

We are not soloists, but a symphony of craftsmanship. Dutch, French, English, we speak our clients’ languages, but our mother tongue is architecture.

That language speaks of proportions that resonate, of light that moves, of details that make the difference between a building and a meaningful space. You can feel this philosophy the moment you step into our studios.

We work as one. You'll hear 'we' far more than 'I' - because that's simply how we work best. Our atmosphere is family-like yet focused, organized yet flexible enough to embrace the productive chaos that sparks innovation.

We are approachable professionals who take our work seriously. This is who we are, and our clients choose us as much for our character as our capability.

In Wortegem-Petegem, the expansion of an existing office building brings all employees of the together within a single, coherent environment.

Developed to strengthen cohesion and daily collaboration, the project builds on the identity of the original structure while extending its capacity and functionality.

At the heart of the extension, a generous atrium forms a green meeting place that connects offices, circulation areas, meeting rooms, and the auditorium into a clear and legible whole, supporting focused work as well as informal exchange.

We're heading to Cannes!

Not for the Croisette, but for the conversations that shape the built environment.

MIPIM brings together the world's leading investors, developers and urban decision-makers.

For AAVO, it's where we connect strategy with architecture: understanding what clients need before a single line is drawn.

If you're attending and want to talk about your next project (industrial, logistics, or workplace) we'd love to meet.

As we refine our identity, we stay true to what defines us: vision, progress, collaboration, performance and architecture made for people.

These values guide how we work today and how we look ahead. Towards new perspectives. Strong partnerships. And spaces that respond to real needs and lasting ambitions.

To mark this next step, we are pleased to share our renewed website, a clearer reflection of who we are, how we work and what we stand for.

Ja, het vergunningenbeleid en de complexiteit van regeltjes maken het er voor bouwbedrijven niet makkelijker op. En neen, het is zeker niet allemaal goud wat blinkt. Het neemt niet weg dat de vier panelleden die deelnemen aan ons bouwdebat, een positief…
