Founded by Elma van Boxel and Kristian Koreman, ZUS is an interdisciplinary design bureau for city, landscape, architecture , based in Rotterdam. Their unsolicited advice and activist attitude saw them win the Maaskant Prize for Young Architects and receive a nomination for Architect of the Year. They are Visiting Professors at Syracuse University School of Architecture, lead the 'Gentrification Lab NYC' and recently published their new book, City of Permanent Temporality.
We’ve always thrived on thinking differently — because that’s where true progress lies. We look beyond architecture. We explore limitless ideas. We discover unseen potential. We are UNS, we see what others miss.
The best ideas are born from collaboration. With seven offices spanning four continents, our dedicated teams are not afraid to challenge themselves, our clients and our collaborators to go beyond the predictable. In this quest, we uncover hidden opportunities to transform the built environment all around the world.
Our studio is fueled by a passion to question and provoke. Our melting pot of expertises leads to interwoven design and consultancy solutions that deliver beyond the brief.
Join us on a journey where perspective is everything and where the usual angles are just the starting point.
Wij zijn KAW. Architecten, ontwerpers, onderzoekers en adviseurs met oog voor mens, natuur en samenleving. Met oog voor de bewoner. Daarom werken wij iedere dag aan plekken die positieve energie geven. Ruimtes die passen bij de behoeften van mensen. Ruimtes om te leven. Met onze blik op het grote plaatje en beide benen op de grond gaan we voor slimmer en duurzamer leven. Door het verschil te blijven maken. Te vernieuwen. En verandering teweeg te brengen. Creëer samen met ons de toekomst. Leef de ruimte!
