This is not their first architectural project in the Middle East. In the past Danny De Munter has delivered with great success a palace «pied dans l’eau» in Khobar together with Brussels architect Patrick van der Stricht. The duo has now been approached to open a local engineering office.
The Flemish approach, far away from the curls and ‘opera style’ often associated with Middle Eastern architecture, can be best described as a combination of ‘eco-neoromance’ and ‘eco-neomodernism’. This approach has proven to be fruitful, hence the new applications coming in from Beirut and Khatar.
Danny De Munter explains his success: «The underdog profile of our Belgian team cannot be underestimated: we work in a small team which results in a lower cost than our competitors; we work faster than them and think in a more pragmatic way. There are very few global players in this market that can work as versatile as we do and are specialized in as many fields as we are. «
