Kollektif is a young and dynamic studio for landscape architecture and urban design based in Ghent. The office views landscape as a powerful tool for positive change, shaping environments where all life can thrive and fostering meaningful relationships between humans and nature. Their interventions are simple yet strong in identity, enhancing existing qualities, supporting ecological processes, and responding to social dynamics.

Over the years, Kollektif has developed an extensive international portfolio, including parks, squares, gardens, masterplans, and installations, with expertise in public space design, green and planting design, urban planning, and co-creation. The partners — Björn Bracke, Joke Vande Maele, and Koen Moelants — combine over 15 years of experience and active roles in teaching and research. Their work has been internationally recognized, including the Water Garden at SFEER (2015), Ghent Floralies (2019), Europan 16 (2021), and LILA Jury Prize (2025).

Driven by curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm, Kollektif is committed to ecologically and socially responsible projects with symbolic and cultural significance.
