About Studioninedots

Studioninedots is an Amsterdam-based practice for architecture and urban design. We create spaces that spark a sense of wonder. Whether we make a house, a public building or an urban concept, every design has its unexpected quality. Because we see spaces that stir a feeling as an essential human need. Spaces that are thoughtfully designed, yet where something can emerge that you couldn't predict upfront. Established as a collective in 2011, Studioninedots consists of 25 people today. The practice is led by partners Vincent van der Klei, Metin van Zijl, Wouter Hermanns and Stijn de Jongh, and associates Ike Gronheid and Jurjen van der Horst. To us, disruption is the counterpart of innovation. So, in a playful way, we challenge the existing elements and boundaries of architectural convention. Embracing the experiment helps us create new types of places that provoke a wider interpretation of their use. The identities and needs of the people who will occupy a space are the foundation of our design approach. This way, we form new places that have a positive impact on everyday life. We excel in projects that (re)activate and transform complex urban locations. The ever-evolving context increasingly calls for unconventional solutions, which lead to more collective and circular ways of living. By distilling the issue, we discover the project’s essence and translate it into exceptional architecture. From an awareness of context, clear interventions and a love of detail and craft, our quest is to conceive spaces of inherent beauty.
