Charles Van Canneyt was born in 1987 in Ghent, Belgium. After completing his studies at Sint-Lucas School of Architecture and obtaining an M.A. in Architectural Management & Design at IE Business School, he went on to work alongside international design leaders such as Vincent Van Duysen and Axel Vervoordt. With a trilingual background and experience working on international projects, he founded his own studio in 2019, specialising in high-end residential projects in Belgium and abroad. In parallel, he runs a mid-century design gallery with a focus on rare, collectible furniture.
Charles brings a calm and intuitive approach to his work, enriched by a profound love for art and mid-century design. Guided by values of warmth and serenity, he creates spaces and objects characterised by a timeless and elegant simplicity. His vision explores the emotional connection between space and experience, emphasising the importance of proportion, materials and form. With a keen eye for detail, he strives to achieve a delicate balance between art, architecture, interiors and design.
Grounded in a highly personalised approach, every project begins by interpreting the client’s needs and translating them into spaces that exude harmony and intimacy. Channelling intuition and iteration in his practice, he adopts an experimental mindset, with research and analysis integral to the design journey. Each project reflects Charles’s commitment to the intense pursuit of beauty and the belief that architecture is a form of art that demands dedication and creative freedom. Above all, his work is driven by one objective: the happiness and wellbeing of his clients.
