Label Architecture

What Label Architecture does

Label Architecture is a privately held architectural practice headquartered at Chaussée de Neerstalle 24G in Brussels, Belgium, founded in 2004 by three La Cambre Institute of Architecture graduates: Jean-Didier Bergilez, Michel Lefèvre, and Thibaut Rome. The firm provides architectural design services across multiple typologies, including private housing, schools, cultural centers, sports facilities, and care centers, with a particular emphasis on renovation, transformation, and extension projects rather than purely new construction. Its stated design philosophy centers on "playing with existing space" and applying a playful approach to existing structures while maintaining serious technical execution. The firm has curated the Belgian Pavilion at the 10th Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2006, and its portfolio documents 50+ projects across Belgium and Strasbourg, France.

The firm operates under a project-based professional services model, competing for public-sector tenders and private commissions primarily through design competitions and direct client engagement. Its primary customer segment is the public sector — government clients commissioning schools, community facilities, sports centers, cultural venues, and care institutions for autism spectrum disorder and disability services — with secondary work for private residential clients. The current leadership comprises four active partners (Michel Lefèvre, Thibaut Rome, Christophe Pham, and Andreas Vanysacker) plus Jean-Didier Bergilez as passive partner, supported by four named team members and an extensive network of past collaborators. The firm maintains recurring strategic collaboration partnerships with Studio Muoto, Karbon, and structural engineer Bollinger + Grohmann, among others, to deliver multi-disciplinary projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a project-by-project basis consistent with standard professional services practice.

The firm has no disclosed external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates as an independent professional partnership. Geographic footprint is regional, concentrated in Brussels, Wallonia, and Flanders, with limited cross-border work in Strasbourg, France. There are no current job vacancies and no recent product launches, M&A activity, funding rounds, or strategic pivots disclosed in the available data.
