The Netherlands

We are URBAN CLIMATE ARCHITECTS. We stand for a future where everyone can live, work and play healthily and safely together. We create a stage where young, old, rich and poor (and everyone in between) can build, develop and grow a quality life. 

To achieve this, we give shape to urbanization, in a responsible way. We intensify the city and thereby relieve the burden on nature. In this way we leave nature alone in its element and create opportunities within the existing city limits. We have devoted ourselves to the principles of a circular and inclusive society. This does not only concern materials and products we make use of, but also applies to our world view that level playing fields must always be created.

ORGA creates modern biobased architecture. Wood is the material, healthy and green buildings are the goal. Circular economy and comfort are inherent. Solutions are natural where possible and technical where necessary. A portfolio with diverse and sustainable wooden architecture is the result.

We believe in the future. Since the foundation of our practice in 1994 we work on sustainable, innovative architecture that focuses on the health and happiness of people. Sustainable technology and aesthetics go hand in hand. After all, appreciating the beauty of buildings is just as important as energy efficiency or the health of an indoor climate.

Natrufied-architecture is an office that focuses on BIOPHILIC architecture; architecture that finds it origin in nature. It is the ambition of the office to integrate nature as much as possible into its designs. This leads to living buildings with nature-inclusive facades and roofs that include Biomimicry solutions and are made of bio-based materials.

NarrativA architects is a Dutch architecture firm and a leading company in the field of ecological architecture: modern comfort, healthy environment and biobased concepts and materials.

A NarrativA building radiates serenity, warmth and has an excellent living/working environment, where people can live or work happily and in good health.

The founder, architect Shai van Vlijmen, attaches great importance to great design and the user’s experience in combination with the right technology. For us, biophilic design is not a new trend or fashion, but a well-considered and conscious choice already since 2008. Every successful design uses passive solar energy, vapor-open constructions and warm, natural materials. The installations are carefully chosen and combined well, to create an efficient space with a comfortable indoor climate in an environmental friendly way.

We are specialized in timber construction systems and use the power of nature for optimal comfort in combination with the latest developments in the field of sustainable materials and technology. Apartment buildings, office buildings, private homes, educational buildings and healthcare facilities can all gain from the biobased approach. During the design process, the ideas and wishes of the user are integrated in a holistic tailor-made solution. Due to our personal approach, many years of experience and a critical eye for the total package including the smallest details, the delivered result is a great building with the best value for money.

Because we believe in sharing our knowledge and experience with other building professionals, we introduced NarrativA PRO. Here we give lectures and trainings on a regular basis. Special requests for customized training on site are also possible. Are you interested to know more about the possibilities? Check our website and register to our subscribers list.

Mei architects and planners realises leading projects in the Netherlands and abroad. Our work is founded on respect for the environment: for the history of the location, the current context and future living environment. Based on our expertise in the field of adaptive re-use of architectural heritage, new build projects and urban development strategies, we work on designs that put the user first.

We are Team V, an architectural firm from Amsterdam, founded in 2013 and directed by Jeroen van Schooten and Do Janne Vermeulen. Team V comprises fifty-five creative professionals: architects, technical designers, interior architects, urban designers, historians and modelmakers working closely together as one solid team. We work on a wide range of projects, including public and cultural buildings, high density housing, university buildings, private homes, public transit hubs as well as complex renovations and transformations. This allows us to cross-reference between different scales and social perspectives. Ensuring a building’s sustainability and usability is our ultimate goal. We don’t just design; we deliver bespoke, sustainable buildings. Architecture connects and brings people together. We believe a building is not finished when it is ready to inhabit. This is when its lifecycle begins, it is ready to contribute to people, culture and society.

We build with nature - the most essential and generous element. Our projects are conceived as landscapes - without boundaries, endless and open. As Dutch architects, we are well aware of the scarcity of land and believe strongly in using this resource more intelligently in order to give ’nature’ more space to survive. We are pioneers of the timber revolution; we create healthy, innovative, modular architecture.

We are a Dutch project developer with an international focus. Our projects push boundaries, literally – we get our expertise and inspiration from both the Netherlands and beyond – and figuratively: we feel each project should be better than the last. Innovations never stay new for long with us – by the next project, they’ve already become the standard. This lets us get a head start on the future – a future that’s healthy and habitable for everyone.

Tala designs and builds sustainable houses from wood and other biobased materials. The modular houses are 90% biobased and built entirely in our own factory. We place them on site with minimal impact in half a day.  We use CLT, woodfibre or hemp isolation and wood or bamboo facade cladding, for these materials store tons of CO2. There is a standardised house type for everyone. With freedom of choice in shape, size, materialisation and floorplan, fitting any urban development plan. The circular homes exceed all sustainable standards with ease, are healthy to live in and affordable.

At Lotta Homes, we believe that everyone has the right to a comfortable and sustainable home.

We stand for inclusiveness and strive to be able to make a positive change in people's lives, regardless of background or culture. Lotta Homes makes solid wood (CLT) houses for the social and middle segment for permanent housing.

We use only natural materials that are good for both people and nature. Our sustainable modular homes are manufactured with carefully selected wood from responsibly managed forests. By choosing natural materials we reduce our ecological footprint and contribute to a healthier living environment for our customers and future generations. Nature is a core value that reflects our commitment to sustainability.

Unique partner
For government, housing associations and social investors, we are a unique partner. In our Finnish factory, with more than 60 years of experience in woodlog (CLT) construction, we manufacture up to 3,000 homes per year in an industrialized way. In addition, we have decades of knowledge from our brokerage background. This provides a wealth of real estate knowledge to help our partners also a financially attractive solutions without unprofitable top. We can rightly say that we have a special combination of expertise.

In addition, we have a nationwide network of building partners, which enables us to offer innovative solutions, work efficiently and realize homes of the highest quality homes that meet the strictest Dutch building standards and energy requirements. Our customers can rely on our proven track record and reliability in realizing

The climate's changing - no denying that. It's high time we start treating our planet with more care. But let's face it, we've been taking her for granted for too long. We're at a tipping point now. It's time to shake things up.

The building industry plays a huge role here. We can't just expect to fix everything overnight. But there are solutions out there. Biobased building or reusing materials are game-changers when it comes to cutting down material-related emissions (greenhouse gases). However, this requires a shift in mindset.

With the uniquely innovative housing concept Sheltr by Bouw•Novum, we dare to explore unfamiliar paths: not reasoning from what we've always done, but from what can be different and must be different. Naturally, this also involves knowledge sharing with specialists or in direct collaborations with manufacturers and closely related supply chain partners - a holistic mindset, therefore. Because innovating and navigating transitions and crises can only be done together!"
