My education as a construction engineer and an architectural designer gives me the opportunity to help people improve their living environment.

The fantastic people at Onix Architecten game me my first position as a designer. I learned a lot about topology and intention and style. This project was back in 2003, but I still like to show it off.

Smaller houses are the best kind of commission. One designer can guide the whole project, be in maximum contact with the client, even manage the construction process and really impact people’s lives.

Sometimes you have a client who takes your 3D design and manages all realization themselves. It can be a very pleasant surprise when you enter a building you designed and everything is exactly like you thought. This client made a showroom and conference stage from my 3D designs.

The look and the feel of a project, if done well in a moody animation, can sometimes convince critical groups to move forward. This was part of a large city planning design with CMA+U.

Interiors are a lot of fun to do, especially when the client has a specific style they want to achieve. This design involved a renovation of an old city property into a classic craft beer place.

Over the years, I’ve done so many floor plans, that they have become pleasant puzzles. This is where the designer can help the client the most, using experience and insight to make the most of a specific situation.

Architecture shapes society. Here I was commissioned to help create a semi care home for a couple, on their son’s property. We developed a simple minimal house, that safeguards the privacy of both homes, while also unlocking the care they can recieve from each other.

As is common in architecture, many plans never find their route to reality.
