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), Floris Overheul (Financial Director), 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.
Studio Piet Boon is a globally operating architecture, interior and product design studio recognized for crafting the perfect balance between functionality, aesthetics and individuality. The multidisciplinary team designs acclaimed private homes, residential & corporate developments, hospitality experiences and an extensive range of products. Studio Piet Boon was founded in 1983 by Piet Boon and Karin Meyn in Oostzaan, The Netherlands.
Stichting Voorschools en Primair Onderwijs De Linge begeleidt, volgt en stimuleert in samenspraak met ouders de ontwikkeling van kinderen in een doorgaande lijn. In de gemeente Lingewaard maken De Kinderopvang en Primair Onderwijs deel uit van De Linge.
Leren kun je altijd, overal en met iedereen. Immers, ieder moment geeft de mogelijkheid een stap vooruit te zetten, iedere situatie biedt de kans een volgende fase van ontwikkeling in te gaan. Dit vraagt een proactieve houding, een voortdurende gerichtheid te willen blijven ontwikkelen en leren. Om dat te realiseren, bieden we maximaal support, hebben we hoge verwachtingen en stellen we hoge doelen aan kinderen en onszelf. Want dat daagt uit om het beste eruit te halen.
De kansen zien en pakken! Het vergroten van de mogelijkheden, binnen onze Kinderdagverblijven, peuteropvang, buitenschoolse opvang en basisscholen, en ook met de partners in de wereld om ons heen, binnen ons motto:
Samen leren met onderlinge verschillen
