Strong centers

Strong centers

City and village centers are sustainable living environments par excellence. We also make them the best places to live, with plenty of greenery, inclusive and diverse, brimming with life and character. We do this by reinforcing each center in a customized manner, but also by reducing the proliferation outside of the centers. Promoting resilience and quality of life in the centers is a fundamental part of this effort.

Healthy environments

Healthy environments

Our health depends on the places, infrastructure and nature around us. They influence our choices, our behavior and our general well-being. We design healthy working and living environments as a spatial vaccine; from the granular level of an individual building up to the macro level of public spaces and landscapes, for young and old.

Integrated ecosystems

Integrated ecosystems

Plants, animals, people and buildings together form the ecosystem of our cities and neighborhoods. In our carefully designed landscapes and ecological residential districts we ensure that this ecosystem flourishes. Thus our projects offer room for biodiversity, water, food, recreation, energy production and more.

Circular economy

Circular economy

A sustainable society is organized on a circular basis, with closed technical and biological circuits. But how do we make the transition to such a circular economy? We accompany policy makers and urban players in this transition, develop solutions for industrial production, water management, food production and all of the other systems that determine our society’s metabolism.

Sustainable mobility

Sustainable mobility

People depend on their cars, but they have a dramatic impact on nature and the surroundings in which we live. In our projects, we tackle the underlying spatial problems and integrate sustainable and innovative mobility solutions. In this way we seek to stimulate a culture of healthy, active and environmentally-friendly transport choices.

Infrastructure as a spatial lever

Infrastructure as a spatial lever

Complex infrastructure projects have an enormous impact on the natural environment, public spaces and people. To increase their social added-value as much as possible, we design our projects in close collaboration, taking all aspects and every stakeholder into account. As a result, they become the driving force for bigger, high-quality and sustainable changes.
