In 2000 Jan De Vylder started his own practice with Trice Hofkens, which changed to Jan De Vylder Architects in 2008 when Inge Vinck became a partner in the office. Jan De Vylder and Inge Vinck studied at St Lucas Ghent, where after Jan De Vylder (1968) worked at the office of Frank Delmulle and Stephane Beel Architects, and Inge Vinck (1973) at the office of Patrice Mottini in Paris and Stephane Beel Architects. Many of their completed projects emerged on the sidelines of their daily work with Stéphane Beel. Every year they completed one or two projects until the brief for the production rooms for Les Ballets C de la B and LOD came along in 2002. In 2005 they won the East Flanders Province Architecture Prize for House 43. They also won several competitions, like the Broodthaers room at the SMAK, the offices of the Toneelhuis theatre in Antwerp, Open Call for the development of the Left Bank in Antwerp (with Technum, HDSPVarchitects, Thysarchitects), and the new council services building in Ledeberg. They are participating in the Ordos Project in Mongolia.
