Space, Place & Idenity
“…the physical dimension of space alone cannot forge an identity without the presence of those who inhabit it. It is through the social dimension—constantly intertwined with its environment— that a genuine sense of place emerges. The act of understanding one’s surroundings is not merely shaped by personal experience, but by the deeper layers of cultural memory, collective behavior, and inherited tradition that define human existence….”
TENT
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
“… as a responds to the client’s question about how to make an art space more social we transformed an old chemical laboratory into a place of inquiry. Here, an established art institution is invited to explore what ‘social’ truly means—within the contexts of interaction, engagement, culture, and even spirituality. The goal is for them to reflect on their own understanding, or lack thereof. We create an open framework, equipped with only the basic necessities, allowing them to shape and redefine the space over the course of two years…”
Beach Sport Resort Cabo Verde
Santo Antao, Cape Verde
Under Construction, to be completed in 2026“…using shape, texture, craft, and proportion to create a place that not only has the capacity to protect the delicate sport of beach volleyball from harsh winds, but also frames the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Built by hand, it treats craftsmanship as a tool of resistance against rapid industrialization — and as an expression of cultural identity and socio-economic emancipation.”
Bospolderplein
Rotterdam, The Neterlands
“…with this project, we sought to move beyond a conventional participatory approach, turning the process itself into a learning journey for young designers. Instead of taking the lead as architects, we stepped into the role of facilitators—mentoring them through the complexities of decision-making in city planning and helping them build the confidence to see themselves as experts of their own living environments…”
Borboletas
Oerol, Terschelling, The Netherlands
“The stage design for the theater performance of “Borboletas” by Gery Mendes aimed to create a powerful visual representation of a house in a state of disarray. The stage served as a metaphorical space, symbolizing not only a physical structure but also the complex relationships between family members, unfulfilled dreams, and the passage of time.”
The Last Poets
Haarlem, The Netherlands
“A pivoting cube that could rotate around its axes, transforming the stage into a kaleidoscope of dynamic environmental sceneries. This mechanism, breathed life into the narrative of the play, allowing for seamless transitions between different landscapes and atmospheres.”
