Creativity and co-construction
Co-construction is a daily practice at DDS+. A process throughout which we question, listen and progress together toward a common goal. Rooted in dialogue and complementarity, it enables us to build solid collaborations both with external partners and within our own team.
Our office is a space where we share, learn, grow and get inspired by one another. More than just a place of work; it's where we collectively shape a vision of the society we want to live in. United by a shared commitment to excellence and a genuine care for one another, we've created an environment where ideas can flow freely, where knowledge is purposely shared and where continuous learning is encouraged.
As we navigate the intricate challenges of our profession, we embrace agility and adaptability, striving to remain responsive to the ever-changing nature of our world.
More than architects; we're dreamers, creators, makers, designers, urbanists, coordinators, researchers, working together to push boundaries, challenge the status quo and imagine new ways to design, build, and live.
That’s the + in DDS+.

Sustainability, our commitment
We approach architecture with the intent to make the most of what already exists, to minimize the impact of transformations, and to propose relevant and responsible solutions. For over ten years, our Sustainable Development unit has supported our teams from the earliest stages of design by providing concrete tools to assess a building’s potential, anticipate its future evolution, offer appropriate responses to its specificities, and support decision-making.
We embrace constraints to reimagine, rebuild and revive the built environment. We adopt a pragmatic approach, grounded in experience, on-the-ground feedback, and continuous learning to make informed and pertinent choices. We act with accuracy to prescribe sober, fair and resilient solutions. We build today with tomorrow in mind.




A shared journey
DDS+ is now led by Bulle Leroy, Didier Peremans, François Couvreur, Vincent Dupont, Geert Vanoverschelde and Lilia Poptcheva. This collective leadership reflects our identity: dynamic, collaborative, and complementary.
Founded in 2006 by Grégoire de Jerphanion, Dominique Delbrouck and Christian Sibilde—later joined by Dirk Bigaré, Olivier Callebaut and Luigi Bellello—the office has, since its inception, united diverse talents around a common ambition: to practice architecture with generosity, curiosity, and a touch of humor.
DDS+ is a firm of architects registered with the Ordre des Architectes, whose Rules of Professional Conduct are available at this address.
