Jan De Moffarts and Steven Bosmans have been working together on an occasional basis for years, but it is only since last year that Bosmans has officially joined De Moffarts at the helm of JDMA. A new name for the firm is still in the works.

De Moffarts previously worked at Stéphane Beel and Origin architects. It was there that he developed an interest in heritage and acquired a solid understanding of restoration techniques. Bosmans, for his part, has had a long career at Office KGDVS.
