Why us?
"We don’t just design buildings and spaces — we craft meaningful experiences, born from involvement, built on transparency, and shaped through strategic collaboration.
Our team of experts is ready to guide you personally, from vision to realization for every type of project."
Our office
We design spaces that reflect the people who use them. From our heritage office in Kortrijk, Belgium, a passionate team of specialists works hand in hand, bringing expertise in residential architecture, commercial design and interiors. This multidisciplinary collaboration allows us to shape every project uniquely, with careful attention to its character, challenges and potential.
What we do
More than just designers.
VEPA Architects also partners in project development, offering strategic input on positioning, feasibility, spatial planning and value creation. Whether for private clients or public initiatives, we think beyond the blueprint to help shape meaningful, future-proof environments.

Our philosophy
"Architecture as Connection"
At Vepa Architects, architecture is more than building
It’s about creating meaningful connections.
Between people and space.
Between function and emotion.
Between context and identity.
We shape these relationships through thoughtful materiality and precise detailing, transforming vision into experience.
Atmosphere & Layering
Every project starts with a spatial story built on mood, rhythm and nuance.
Circulation as Experience
Movement through space is choreographed — guided by light, sightlines and transitions.
Design in Dialogue
Our process evolves through collaboration, place and purpose — always unique.

Our story
Jean-Louis Verstraete and Leander De Pauw first met during their studies at Sint-Lucas Ghent (KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture). What began as a shared passion for architecture and interior design, marked by a keen eye for detail, grew into a lasting collaboration and ultimately led to the founding of VEPA Architects.
Today, our team brings together experts, each with their own field of specialisation. This structure ensures that every client has a dedicated point of contact while allowing VEPA Architects to approach every scale, type, and ambition of project with confidence.
Our complementary strengths enable us to tackle each project from compact interiors to large-scale developments, with precision, coherence, and care.
Different minds, one vision — built on dialogue and trust
