Altu is an architecture studio founded by the two architects Veerle Van de Walle and Francesca Bonne in 2020. As the studio name fittingly implies [alt-u], their dedicated team introduces alternative and innovative ideas often with a blend of historic architectural references and newfound original creations. Altu applies a broad multidisciplinary approach which allows for projects of various size and duration and in doing so carries out a diverse range of architectural assignments from architectural and interior designs for private clients, hotels and bars to scenographies for established musea and fashion brands.

Diversification is key for the studio who finds satisfaction and thrill in developing different types of architectural programmes with scenography and stage design also being part of their portfolio. Designing permanent structures as well as temporary adds another layer of intensity and openness to their practice.

The studio works in depth on all scales, from complex concepts and floor plans down to petite woodwork detailing, bringing a sense of wholeness and integrity to each project. Altu believes in the strength of collaboration and invites specialists like artists and expert craftsmen to develop parts of their projects together, an outlook leading to further ingenuity and poetry. The interaction with a space and the senses it evokes are individual yet altu carefully conceives frameworks which are visually engaging, inspiring people to indulge.
