This office believes in nature as its source of inspiration, integrating organic shapes, natural materials, local cultural traditions to design buildings with a strong sense of place.

Looking at nature provides you with new concepts to explore and express yourself. Due to the projets at 24H I have gained expertise in working with wood and designing a building in all its different phases. I have learnt what is required to make a sketch become reality, with all challenges coming along with it. Show less

During this internship I have worked on developing an elementery school in Breda and on urban planning design in Leiden.

I have assisted Eddy Kaijser with the development of the sound wall "N329 road of the future", based on a sustainible and innovative concept. Furthermore we have worked on designing a green facade in Crooswijk, Rotterdam. The facade has a strong aesthetic impact and attempts to be an answer to the growing problem of air pollution in urban areas.

As a result of being assigned a grant from the Leonardo Da Vinci Programme for working abroad, I was employed for seven months at 123DV in Rotterdam. My tasks included designing, draftsman and model maker for several projects, among them the m_Art competition (third place), Media Plaza Auditorium in Utrecht (WAN Interior Design Awards 2011 nomination) and villa Duin en Beek.

I have helped high school and college students with mathematics and physics by figuring out the sources of their misunderstanding and improving them effectively.

I have have helped elementary school kids with attention defecit disorder in all the required school subjects.
