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.

Renovating a reception area in Nijmegen
In Nijmegen we mainly work in villas, townhouses, listed buildings and country houses, in neighbourhoods such as Kwakkenberg, Berg en Dal, Hunnerberg, Benedenstad and Malden. 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, 90 min from Nijmegen. A project director is on site daily, and after handover that same person remains your permanent contact for maintenance, warranty and new wishes.

01
Academic calendar
In university towns we plan renovations around sabbaticals, academic years and international relocations, with English-language communication where desired.
02
Nature and greenery
Building near woodland, dunes or Natura 2000 areas requires careful surveys and permits. We take care of them and design extensions that respect the landscape.
03
Villa districts and aesthetics committees
In villa districts strict aesthetic frameworks apply to extensions, outbuildings and materials. We guide the entire permit process and design in harmony with the landscape.
04
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.
