Each one started with a question.
What does this space need to become — for the people who will use it, and the purpose it needs to serve?
Three of these locations I developed and operated myself — transforming historic buildings near Utrecht into environments that carried their past while serving the present. That changes how you see a space. You stop thinking about what looks right, and start thinking about what works.
Het Nut —
Boutique event location
A former bank and kindergarten — two lives layered into one building — reimagined as an intimate boutique event location in the surroundings of Utrecht. Concept, interior direction, and full operational management over fifteen years. Every detail shaped by the question: how does this feel on the day that matters most?
De Dijk —
Boutique event location
An 1800s farmhouse with bones that told you exactly what it wanted to be. Character-led, built around the existing soul of the building rather than despite it. The spatial concept came first — everything else followed.
Het Atelier —
Training & meeting location
Once a family home and shop combined — a place where daily life and commerce shared the same walls. Transformed into a focused environment for training, meetings and creative sessions. The challenge was knowing what not to add — and trusting that restraint is its own form of generosity.
Large holiday centre — waterside, The Netherlands
Brought in as project manager during the development of one of the largest leisure destinations in the Netherlands, set at the water's edge. My role: shaping the guest flow, guiding the interior design choices and defining the final atmosphere — ensuring that scale never came at the cost of feeling. A complex, high-volume environment made to feel welcoming, intuitive and alive.
Law firm — Amsterdam
A workspace built around how a team of legal professionals actually functions. Private offices for concentrated work. An open kitchen that draws people together. A lunch and meeting space that feels like somewhere you'd choose to be. Not corporate formality — considered environments for focus, trust and informal connection.
