Bult Ruimte Competitors

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 INBO. De ontwerpers die mensen centraal durven te zetten. Zo betrekken we gebruikers graag bij ons werk. Zij weten namelijk écht wat ze nodig hebben. We vragen, onderzoeken en ontwikkelen. Wat we bedenken, bouwen we ook. Ons doel is om buurten socialer en gezonder te maken. Daarom ontwerpen we plekken waar mens, stad en natuur elkaar ontmoeten: ruimtes om je thuis te voelen. Ruimte voor mensen.

Mecanoo, officially founded in Delft in 1984, is made up of a highly multidisciplinary staff of creative professionals from 25 countries. The team includes architects, interior designers, urban planners, landscape architects as well as architectural technicians and support staff. Mecanoo is led by Francine Houben (Creative Director & Founding Partner), Dick van Gameren (Design & Research Partner), and Partners/Architects Nuno Fontarra, Rick Splinter and Arne Lijbers. Mecanoo has extensive experience designing and realising exceptional buildings which serve client ambitions while creating vibrant end-user spaces. Each project responds to our philosophy of People, Place and Purpose: to the client’s requirements and the user’s needs (People); the physical context, climate and culture (Place); and the current and predicted potential of a building’s function (Purpose). The result is unique solutions for each varying situation, in which the disciplines of architecture, urban planning, landscape and interior combine in a non-traditional way. Over the years we have learned that functions inevitably change. Therefore, we must create buildings that are prepared for (un)predictable change. Sustainability is an inherent aspect of our design approach, feeding into an ambition to create new identity in a world of globalization, resulting in inspiring and authentic places, socially relevant for people and communities. Preoccupied not by a focus on form, but on process, consultation, context, urban scale and integrated sustainable design strategies, the practice creates culturally significant buildings with a human touch.
