Office Winhov

Office Winhov received the ARC Oeuvre Award in 2016 and was named ‘Architect of the Year’ in 2023 for its significant contributions to the architectural profession. With a team of 30, the practice collaborates closely with clients and partners on new buildings and the adaptive reuse of existing structures and listed heritage across the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Belgium. A context-driven design philosophy respects historical significance while ensuring continuity within the built environment. The commitment to craftsmanship combines artistic vision with technical precision, producing designs that are adaptive and sustainable. Office Winhov sees architecture as a collective, evolving discipline, engaging actively in architectural education, research, and involvement on committees, juries, and editorial boards. The practice also founded the ‘Local Heroes’ platform and the ‘Design-by-thinking-of’ lecture series.
