About

Vision

We develop, design and realise innovative interiors in consultation with our ambitious clients. We act as a partner who offers constructive criticism and remains involved throughout the design and construction process. Concept and functionality go hand in hand. Our results are thoughtfully designed interiors, tailored to the people who use them on a daily basis. Our office, located in an authentic warehouse with a raw look, is a translation of our interior philosophy. Here, circularity, acoustics, functionality and technology come together in an innovative way as one whole.

Futureproof redesign Port House (Havenhuis) and Pierre Vandammehuis

We are very proud to announce that the Port of Antwerp-Bruges selected PUUR after a tender to update the interior of the iconic Port House in Antwerp, designed by Zaha Hadid architects. The same tender also includes the renovation of the interior of the Pierre Vandamme House in Zeebrugge. The assignment includes limited but essential interventions in the Port House to make the office interior future-proof. These include acoustic and aesthetic interventions, which will give the interior more basic comfort, identity and warmth.
