Projects

Our work ranges from private houses and residential complexes to commercial buildings and urban masterplans. What connects them is an awareness of context, commitment to craftsmanship and a touch of surprise. Whether it’s about designing a chair or regenerating a district, we take an inquisitive approach to rethink convention.

A sequence of indoor and outdoor ‘urban rooms’ is home to the new collective culture in this residential tower in Almere.

At a time when work is increasingly detached from time and location, the added value of the building lies in new spaces for interaction.

This pavilion is half house, half garden, in one single home.

YCON’s vertical landscape forms a new, green eye-catcher from the surrounding streets and canals, and creates an environment suited to future-proof living in the city.

This ambitious masterplan envisions a circular mixed-use district, as a living lab, that breathes new life into the historic Campina site in Eindhoven.

An industrial area is transforming into a vibrantly mixed new district, where the character of raw and productive industry remains alive.

This school scores high on flexibility and sustainability – its social core features spectacular voids that flood the interior with daylight.

With its thoughtful design, Blok N adds high quality social housing to the heritage-listed Jeruzalem neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood enjoys better waterfront views now we’ve slimmed down the silhouette and switched the landmark buildings around.

The historic factory site in Arnhem will be transformed into a Living Lab designed to celebrate meaningful interaction.

/ / / /

As the Cobercokwartier’s social and cultural hub, the old milk factory celebrates the site’s rich industrial heritage with a view to Arnhem’s creative future.

/ / /

We combined and relocated all the outdoor space from 364 balconies to the rooftop to create one sunny super-terrace enjoyed collectively by 364 students.

Soundproofing requirements gave rise to an innovative faceted skin that envelops the entire apartment building.

Envisioned as a symbol of circularity in Buiksloterham, Yotel’s integrated design considers all scales of the project from the landscape to the finest details.

/

Compact, intensively mixed-use and small-scale, the Cityplot urban planning strategy views to a future based on adaptability, participation and circularity.

/ / / /

Our mascot, our smallest WeSpace. This handcrafted pavilion kickstarted conversations around a cosy campfire.

ODE

A narrow passage that slices the front facade of these two Oosterdokseiland apartments blocks gives this project its identity.
