Frame Architects is an architectural practice based in Brussels, Belgium, established in 2018 by José María de la Cuadra Osborne. Osborne brought several years of experience from other Brussels firms before founding Frame, which has grown to include a small team working across both Belgium and Spain. The office operates from Brussels and undertakes a mix of public, institutional, commercial, and residential projects.
Frame Architects has completed a variety of commissions, with their Brussels portfolio combining contemporary design and a focus on energy efficiency, as well as sensitivity to both the urban and social context. The firm's approach centers on creating tailored solutions in close dialogue with clients and collaborators, considering each project as a unique response to its site and community.
Among public and institutional works, Frame Architects' recent projects include the Spanish Embassy in Brussels. The team also handles planning permissions for complex developments and has delivered over 30 corporate and residential projects in Europe. The firm’s staff members have backgrounds from universities in Belgium, Italy, China, and Brazil, and their expertise covers architecture, urban planning, and interior design.
While Frame Architects remains a relatively young company, their growing body of work reflects an ability to engage with diverse architectural challenges in both the Belgian and Spanish markets. Their experience spans new buildings, renovations, and interior interventions, adjusting to specific client needs and urban conditions, with a strong competence in project management and permitting processes.
