about
we create places
By combining a deep understanding of human behaviour with creative thinking, we create places that are distinctive, effective, intuitive and meaningful. Places that aim to change the way people shop, work, eat or relax for the better.

what we do
We control all stages of the spatial creative process. From vision and initial concept or commercial strategy to design and implementation. Our design-and-build projects are planned and completed working closely with our partners, from the first sketch to the last screw. We do not use predefined scripts or models. Each project is a new challenge, a new opportunity to create something unique according to the needs of each client. After all, what works for one client is not guaranteed to work for another.

engineerwith whom we work
Claessens Erdmann has over 30 years' experience in creating spaces that are meaningful and enhance people’s lives. In the past three decades of our existence, we have amassed an impressive number of projects and clients, from small businesses and solo professionals to large organisations and household names. Both in the Netherlands and abroad. This is something that we are very proud of. We have long-term relationships with many of our clients and ensure their brands and identities are translated throughout the organisation and across all communications. From the stores to the experience centre and the headquarters of Sligro Food Group and from the AFAS offices to the AFAS Live concert hall.
Wouter Hoevers
The relationship between form and technology fascinates me. Both in the built environment and the way people use it. I believe that correct implementation and precise, finely detailed execution are the key to realising successful projects.After studying architecture at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, I focused on the technical aspects of interior and exterior design. Alongside my work in this field, I also attended the Academy of Architecture for three years.
Projects I'm currently involved in include the new Holland Casino in Utrecht, and the stores of Ace & Tate and Nike.
