Fragile-Lab by Import.Export Architecture

Fragile-Lab is a new complex construction, designed by Import.Export Architecture, located in Antwerpen, Belgium, that houses four functions: storage, showroom, office and a duplex apartment.

The building is characterized by its light structure, featuring large expanses of glass and off-kilter columns. The architects aim was to intentionally make the building appear fragile. This is further enhanced by its many angles and almost see through interior. Inside, a full length green wall connects the levels an adds color to the stark white space.
