https://www.ix-architects.com/IX Architects is a design studio which focusses on both exterior and interior design. The Identity and eXperience of the identity is a central subject in all the projects. We think that every place, object or person has its own unique identity. Especially in a globalising world the unique characteristics of a individual or a place become more and more important. By thorough research of the place and client we aim to develop a tailor-made design which is user friendly and unique in its own ways.

I graduated within the think tank the Why Factory, lead by both Delft University of Technology and MVRDV. The Why Factory is a think tank, with a strong emphasis on new visions and approaches for the city of the future. In my graduation project, Active architecture versus a sedentary lifestyle, I researched how the daily working and living environment could be transformed to enhance a more active lifestyle, with less sedentary behavior, as a way to improve general health. With physical activity as key point I challenged existing thinking over the working and living environment in the quest for optimized and exciting design solutions. To come up with data estimation on health improvement, I did in-depth analytical research, literature research, consulted experts,made some visual quantification and did physical experiments. Learning Points: Research-based designing, Prototyping, Visual quantification, Predictive (out of the box) thinking, Supporting Skills (Rhino + Grasshopper)
