Former employers

Being active with large-scale projects has been very satisfying for years. The OV Terminal in Breda, for example, and Amsterdam Arena Station. A rehabilitation center in Arnhem, housing on the Zuidas and various projects in healthcare, utilities, schools and housing. The experience gained at firms such as Bedaux de Brouwer architects and Architectenbureau Koen van Velsen is of great value. Many projects reviewed have been awarded prizes. You can find some of them under the 'news' tab.
