The lobby decides the verdict on your business in thirty seconds. We design reception areas that radiate calm, craftsmanship and confidence, from the threshold to the coffee.
A reception area is a choreography: entering, being recognised, waiting, moving on. We design that route with a desk as sculpture in natural stone or wood, a waiting zone that feels like a hotel lounge and sightlines that show the business without giving it away. Signage and brand elements are integrated into the material instead of being stuck on.
Acoustics and light define the experience. A lobby with hard floors and glass echoes; we add acoustic plaster, textiles and rugs and design a lighting plan with daylight, even task light at the desk and warm mood light in the lounge. A coffee point to hotel standard makes waiting a moment.

Amsterdam
Renovating a reception area in Amsterdam
In Amsterdam we mainly work in canal houses, townhouses, penthouses and lofts, in neighbourhoods such as Grachtengordel, Museumkwartier, Apollobuurt, Willemspark and Jordaan. Each typology places its own demands on a reception area: height, daylight, pipework, structure and sometimes heritage rules. Our architects know the local frameworks and design within them without compromising the end result.
The atelier is located in The Hague, 50 min from Amsterdam. A project director is on site daily, and after handover that same person remains your permanent contact for maintenance, warranty and new wishes.

01
Canal houses and cellars
Canal houses require structural care: foundation surveys, watertight cellars and logistics over the water. We plan hoisting, exemptions and deliveries before the start.
02
Listed buildings and protected townscapes
Many properties fall under heritage protection or a protected townscape. Our architects take care of the permit, consultation with heritage committees and the restoration of historic detailing, combined with modern installations.
03
High-rise and owners' associations
Penthouses and apartments require coordination with the owners' association, building management and lift logistics, and careful sound insulation for floors and installations. We arrange it all.
04
Historic city centre
Car-free centres and narrow streets require construction logistics to the hour: delivery windows, container placement and exemptions are planned in advance so the schedule holds.
