The foundation of architectural interventions is research by design.

We thrive on iterative design processes and we employ naivety strategically to explore the wicked problems that define our profession.

Architecture is what you live in and what we live for.

Dries designs buildings for people.

Constructing a building is a long and complex process. Obtaining the proper permits in The Netherlands often takes even longer.

Dries is your guide in the maze of paperwork, interests, and sometimes conflicting opinions.

An analysis is conducted of the pre-existing conditions, the location, regulations, necessary investment, and your needs.

The purpose at this stage is to define a goal, to form a team, and to asses the feasability of your ambitions.

We develop the experience together. We consider light, space, materials. Form, function, and construction become one at this stage.

The goal is to develop a design that makes you happy.

At this stage the high-level engineering is validated. We integrate the expertise of all other consultants such as the structural engineer, mechanical engineer, and building biologist.

The goal is to gain planning permits from the authorities and to gain consent from other stakeholders such as neighbours.

Every detail is engineered in support of the design quality. Detailled drawings are produced for every sub-contractor and of every space. Technical specifications are written to accompany the drawings.

The goal is to create a set of documents that inform the builder on exactly what to do.

Through site visits, the necessary measures will be adopted to successfully complete the project.

Weekly meetings with the contractor will ensure the contractor adheres to the design and will guarantee the highest quality of work.

No project begins with a blank canvas.
Every endeavor starts with a comprehensive study of the site's characteristics and possibilities, your needs and wishes, and the regulatory constraints.

We strive to incorporate the lessons learned from vernacular culture to enhance our designs.

Based on a thorough structural survey and historical study, we work on buildings that need restoration to ensure their longevity.

The goal is to enhance the built heritage and material culture of our territory, preserving their value for future generations.

Architecture should help your businesses stand out, connect with your audience, and create a unique story.

We focus on integrating physical experience with corporate branding to achieve this.
