We are very proud to announce that the RAP jury has nominated our project for the Rotterdam Architecture Prize (RAP)
We are also participating in the public award. If you would like to support our nomination vote for our ‘Zwart Jan’ project here. Thank you!
We won the Nationale Houtbouwprijs 2024! The jury awarded our home & studio’s in the category ‘private projects’ and complimented us on our uncompromising sustainable design choices. We are very happy with the award (for timber buildings) and hope to inspire others to build the same way. Read more about the project here and the collaborators that made it possible.

We moved into our new home + studios! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. It’s incredible to finally live here after all these years. The wooden walls, the abundance of daylight, the stable indoor climate (due to our passive house building method), the neighborhood…
We built and planted the patio in April / May. Thanks to all the spring rains, the plants have already started to thrive and are filling the space.

A lot has happened the past months! The window frames have been installed. Everything has been insulated. The installations for the electricity, water and ventilation have been prepared. And last week the patterned façade panels arrived. More images here.
Seven years ago Eelco (jade architecten) and I had the crazy idea of building our own home & office on this plot in the city of Rotterdam. After lots of bumps in the road we are really happy to have finally started.
It will become a super energy efficient building (‘passive house standard’). We are building as sustainable as possible with CLT (cross laminated timber) walls and floors and choosing bio-based and renewable building materials were possible like the insulation made of woodfibre.
