RYA is an architecture company that works with private clients, housing cooperatives, small and medium-sized businesses, artisans, and others to manage entire projects. From the initial sketches through to the completion of construction, we are here to support you in new construction, renovation, expansion, and/or interior design projects.
RYA develops architectural projects where the well-being of occupants, energy efficiency, and natural materials take center stage.
RYA is an energy efficiency consulting company for residential and commercial projects of all sizes. We provide tailored support for the technical and energy-related aspects of your projects, working directly with private and public clients or supporting other architects. We conduct comprehensive building audits and assessments, handle all necessary studies to meet legal requirements, and are PEB-certified in all three regions. We also assist you in achieving higher performance goals—such as “passive,” “zero-energy,” or “positive-energy” buildings and help you proactively prepare for future requirements.
RYA offers personalized expertise in the field of sustainable architecture.
With its diverse expertise, the RYA team is at the forefront of numerous evolving topics and provides personalized support for your projects, including the use of natural materials, rainwater management and biodiversity, the circular economy, airtightness, and the reuse and reversibility of materials.
Every project deserves to be analyzed from these various perspectives to strive toward resilient architecture.
Since its founding, RYA has sought to play a positive role in the ecological transition. This involves rethinking the concept of comfort, seeking common-sense, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions, and prioritizing low-tech choices to put the end-user back in control. Construction and renovation projects should be viewed as an opportunity to evolve toward a new economic and social model aligned with sustainable development.
RYA seeks to collaborate with motivated clients who share our values to build strong, constructive partnerships. This fosters synergies with exceptional partners who, in their own way, aim to make a difference in the world. Together, let’s develop projects that maximize energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. The act of building is akin to care: it must improve the living conditions of occupants while enhancing the environmental value of its surroundings.
RYA is committed to providing its employees with fulfilling work, reasonable deadlines, and fair compensation. We aim to develop community-oriented architecture and prioritize projects located in the Brussels region and its surroundings that are accessible via sustainable transportation. We also embrace adventure and remain open to any interesting proposals further afield.
The diversity of professional backgrounds within the studio, architects and engineers, and each individual’s perspectives and skills enrich our discussions and add value to our projects.
We find our balance through collaboration and the continuous updating of our knowledge. Each member develops their specific areas of expertise while ensuring they undergo regular training, ranging from the practical application of natural materials to thermal calculation software. Since 2011, RYA has fostered synergies and established close partnerships, building a solid, diverse, and committed network of construction professionals who share our vision and are ready to contribute to and support our projects.
RYA provides personalized support to its partners. We aim to develop honest, effective, and well-thought-out solutions while demystifying the often-confusing jargon of the construction industry.
We help you understand the impact of your choices and ours, so that we can strive for architecture that is as environmentally responsible as possible at every level.
We will make technical decisions with scientific rigor, without neglecting the dreams, the poetry, and the well-being of the future residents.
