The keywords innovation, sustainability, identity and interaction characterize the vision of Paul de Ruiter Architects. Bringing the future closer by means of innovative architecture is our ambition, making possible what appears impossible and developing unexpected and pioneering solutions. To achieve progress, an architect must move beyond existing frames of reference and surpass the norm breaking through processes. This means you must be proactive, involving all the parties concerned in the process right from the start, in order to expose the real needs of the customer. Inspired collaboration produces innovative architecture. Paul de Ruiter Architects has started its practice in 1994 and counts about 18 employees. Our office is based in a former steelworkplace which we fully renovated on our own initiative and converted into a business complex in which, besides ourselves, different creative companies are located.
