De Zwarte Hond is a design bureau for architecture, urbanism and strategy. We have offices in Groningen, Rotterdam, Cologne and Berlin that employ about 120 professionals. We add quality to the built environment by combining urban design and architecture. We effectively assess what adds value and enhances the quality of life for people, the street, the neighbourhood, the city and the region. We are fully committed to our designs, and we also assume responsibility for their realisation. The end product must be just as ambitious and beautiful as the first proposals.

As a multi-disciplinary service company in the field of building accommodation and real estate, we execute a variety of projects in the industrial, office, retail, housing and recreational sectors. DENCs’ strength is in offering total building solutions. Our integral design and build formula offers you comfort and security in achieving your requirements. You have one contact person responsible from the first analysis and location study through to final completion and maintenance. Clarity is quickly achieved with a fixed competitive price, a fixed completion date and single overall guarantee. In addition to offering a total package, DENC also delivers stand-alone services for project management, development, architecture and building technique. Our logistics department, in particular, supports companies with the design and improvement of industrial processes and distribution activities. This information is then translated into the requirements for their building premises.
