Short presentation LLOX

 

History

In 1967 architect Louis Luyten gathered a number of talented architects and engineers. They were all very experienced when it came to working on complex projects and high-technological buildings for the healthcare industry. Since then, several clients have made use of the team's expertise and professional approach. The firm grew into a multidisciplinary team with important references in the healthcare industry, Luyten & Lens.

LLOX architects

In 2007, three architects joined the partnership established by Marc Lens and Nico Luyten: associate partners Razvan Oprescu, Dieter Wuyts and Guy Van der Kuylen. The new team was named LLOX architects. 

The new name stands for experience and modernisation, for creative know-how. Years of experience in the healthcare industry have now been completed with a fresh vision and a new team. LLOX architects uses a broad vision of the future, based on knowledge, experience and creative architecture, as its starting point.

LLOX Romania

Razvan Oprescu was born in Bucharest and came to Antwerp 15 years ago. Since then, he has gone back to his roots and founded LLOX Romania.
Together we hope to contribute to the construction of this new EU country, especially in the health industry, which has to make up for several decades of backlog.

Open and up to date

An open attitude to new approaches and trends is embedded in the company’s culture.
 
We built the first service flats (Hoboken), the cheapest newbuild hospital (Tielt), the first rest home in real property leasing (Mechelen) and the first projects under VIPA. 

Workshops, symposia, study tours abroad and young foreign architects help us stay up to date and protect us from stagnating.

Efficiency

We use the newest modern ICT systems to underpin project organisation, new design techniques, different building processes and administrative follow-up. 

This integrated approach guarantees an efficient and global service, to which we feel our principals are entitled.

Creativity

A careful selection of highly qualified employees helps us to provide a creative response to the needs of our clients. The emphasis is on architectural quality, which, to us, implies optimal functionality and technical reliability. 

We listen, analyse and summarize, taking into account the client’s needs and wishes in every stage of the process. Consultation can enrich and optimize every phase of the design and building process.
Architecture is more than just a translation of the principal’s programme. Architecture is experienced by the whole of society and is an expression of the spirit of the times. It is the product of a vision on life within a spatial and cultural framework. It confers a specific image, place and function in society on the principal.
