Architecture and interiors, built to last. We design homes, workplaces and public buildings, from the first sketch to the finished building.
Kralingen House
Completed 2024
An architecture studio on the Maashaven.
Our office is a former grain warehouse on the south bank of the Maas. Most projects begin at the long table by the window, so drop in if you are nearby.
Twenty of us work in one room on the first floor of the old warehouse. Partners sit with the teams, and every project keeps the same partner from the first meeting to handover.

Site supervision
We start with a feasibility study, then a sketch design you can walk around as a model. Once you approve it, we work it out in detail and draw the permit set ourselves, so the design you approve is the one that gets built.
Includes
Feasibility study, sketch design, final design, permit drawings
Typical length
18 to 30 months
A school or office of around 3,000 m² takes us about two years, from the first visit to the day it opens.

Brief
We visit the site, listen to your plans and agree on a budget and a timeline.
02
Design
Sketches and models become a full design. You see it in drawings, models and 3D before anything is fixed.
03
Permit and tender
We prepare the permit drawings and help you choose a builder on price and quality.
04
Build
We visit the site every week, check the work and keep you up to date until handover.

“They drew the permit set themselves, so nothing was lost between design and build. The school opened on the day we planned.”
