Syp & Steyn | Utrecht
The SYP & Steyn are meant to heal scars of a 60’s modernist plan in the heart of Utrecht. Uniting large and small scale as well as historic and modern buildings around a compelling green courtyard. The city is a time machine, changing planning views are like layers of sediment that one can read like […]
Kijkhuis | Leiden
This boutique cinema complex is surgically placed within the historical centre of Leiden. This modest building aims to surprise the visitor with a spaciousness that embraces cinematography.

OurDomain | Amsterdam Southeast
This massive scale colourful affordable housing project around a compelling green park was the breakthrough in the conversion of a predominant office area into a mixed-use district. Amsterdam Southeast is a suburb made from the sixties up till the nineties. As it came of age it showed the social fatigue these areas usually have. As […]
De Werf | Amsterdam
With ‘de Werf’ we created a compelling influencer to change a former industrial terrain into a living-working environment. A sturdy high-dense compact housing block that refers to past times. We use the concept of mass to define the ‘specific weight’ of the city. This refers to a social and economic basis for a viable city […]
Lumen | Scheveningen

What new addition as an entry to an historical city is appropriate? An identity of a city is not easy to define. Do you create a new […]
The Diamond House | Bahamas
On a cliff in the Caribbean, we designed our version of the ‘James Bond” villa inspired by the classic modern era. A diamond shaped, prefabricated, sustainable hurricane proof project. The Caribbean with its sub-tropical climate and hurricane seasons ask for a specific type of construction. Construction materials and companies are scarce. So, we envisioned to […]
Downtown | Rotterdam
Historic Rotterdam meets its modern era in a daring cantilevering housing tower with ample outdoor spaces and green roofs on a sturdy inviting urban plinth. The city is a time machine, and the changing architectural and planning views are sometimes so close together like layers of sediment that you can read it like a textbook […]
BOLD | Amsterdam
Bold is massive. Bold is black. A tower, entirely clad, from top to toe, in solar panels oozing climate ambitions combined with residential luxury. We use the concept of mass to define the ‘specific weight’ of the city. This refers to a social and economic basis for a viable city that can reinvent itself. At […]
Villa D | The Netherlands
In this stack of white Corian clad boxes dwells an open plan villa where the inner and outer spaces flow over into each other. The design of Villa D, located in a three-acre garden, follows the outlines of the former residence, which was demolished to make place for the new house. The plan divides the […]
