Direct peers

• Christian Kerez: Swiss architect with a similarly small practice profile, recognised for cultural buildings and architectural experimentation across Europe. Comparable as a boutique European architect whose practice is anchored by the founder's signature and selected large cultural commissions.
• 51N4E: Belgian architecture practice of comparable boutique size with strong cultural, civic, and heritage portfolio across Belgium and internationally. Comparable because both are small Belgian practices recognised for sensitive public-architecture work and competition-led project acquisition.
• Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu: Belgian architecture firm of comparable scale producing cultural, residential, and adaptive-reuse work, often featured alongside Hebbelinck in European awards. Comparable as a boutique Belgian practice with strong competition presence and similar sensitivity to context and reuse.
• Xaveer De Geyter Architects: Belgian architecture firm with a strong portfolio of public cultural buildings, infrastructure, and urban planning commissions. Comparable as a Benelux boutique practice working at the intersection of public-sector competitions and cultural/urban typologies.
• Vincent Van Duysen Architects: Belgian architect with a comparable boutique profile combining private residential commissions, interior design, and select cultural work. Comparable because of the parallel mix of high-end private residential and curated cultural/institutional commissions within a similarly sized Belgian practice.
• Bovenbouw Architectuur: Dutch/Belgian architecture firm of comparable boutique scale with a strong portfolio in residential transformation, heritage adaptation, and select cultural work in the Low Countries. Comparable because of overlapping geographic footprint (Belgium/Netherlands) and similar emphasis on contextual, material-driven design.
• Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen: Belgian architecture firm producing cultural facilities, residential, and public commissions with a strong international competition profile. Comparable as a similarly sized Belgian practice with overlapping cultural-institution client base and European award recognition.
• Hart-Berteloot AAT (HBAAT): French architecture firm that is the firm's principal joint-venture partner on cultural and heritage projects including Les Halles Perret and Espace des Arts de Chalon-sur-Saône. Most directly comparable peer because of repeated co-bidding, identical typology of work (cultural centres, museums), and joint Mies van der Rohe shortlisting.

Broad incumbents

• David Chipperfield Architects: UK-based, internationally established architecture practice with a major specialism in cultural buildings and heritage restoration (e.g. Neues Museum Berlin). Comparable as a much larger incumbent whose heritage-restoration and museum-typology work overlaps directly with Hebbelinck's portfolio, but operates globally rather than at the boutique European scale.
• Lacaton & Vassal Architectes: French architecture firm globally recognised for social housing, cultural buildings, and heritage-conscious renovation, and recipient of the 2021 Pritzker Prize. Comparable as a broader French/European incumbent whose typology of work (cultural buildings, renovation, residential) directly overlaps with Hebbelinck's portfolio, though at significantly larger scale and international reach.
