Westvleteren Community Center designed by Atelier Tom Vanhee, The village house accommodates various community functions. The building complex consists of successive buildings, ranging from a 19th-century school building and an old town hall to an industrial building from the 1990s. The dilapidated storage room is being replaced by the banquet hall. The rear area thus becomes an outdoor space for the party room.

The gable roof is replaced by one roof slope, which increases the room, bathes in the light and gives views of the nearby church. A central entrance in the armpit of the building complex offers the building a clear address and connects the various functions and spaces. The image-determining character of the various bricks, which betray the successive renovations, is reinforced by realizing the new parts in a contemporary brick type. The village house is being rejuvenated and adapted to modern usage requirements, with respect for the environment and the users, but also with a quirky character.
