SeARCH Information

SeARCH is a dynamic architecture and urban design bureau based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with an international portfolio. In 2002, Bjarne Mastenbroek founded SeARCH and has been successfully designing projects in the Netherlands and abroad. With a team of international architects and designers SeARCH is able to expand on its already broad portfolio. SeARCH stands for Stedenbouw en ARCHitectuur (Urban Planning & Architecture). Our projects are conceived as landscapes - the most essential and generous element. Without boundaries, landscapes are endless and open; they connect architecture with the urban, interior with exterior. Through careful consideration of the surrounding environment, SeARCH is able to introduce a high degree of sustainability and awareness into our projects. 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. SeARCH’s focus is on architecture and its relationship to its surroundings, not just contextually but integrally. SeARCH believes in collaboration; with clients, users, and specialists. This sets the stage to create innovative, original and unexpected design solutions. Research into new building methods, products & materials is a natural extension of our work.
