Trappistencafé

The project, designed by LAVA architecten, features a circular, innovative wooden structure. This recognition highlights the sustainable and architectural ingenuity behind the café's expansion.

The timber structure of the Café Trappisten Westmalle expansion is a standout feature, with a reciprocal design inspired by mill blades. This design allows for a large free span with minimal columns, saving material and creating an elegant aesthetic. At the heart of this structure is an oculus, a large skylight that floods the space with natural light, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
