With almost a decade of dedicated work on the team, Merel has established herself as both a seasoned architect and a trusted Brightside veteran. Over the years, Merel has contributed to an extensive array of projects, ranging from upscale residential developments to the transformation of historic landmarks. Besides her architectural expertise, she possesses a profound understanding of the construction process, making her an instrumental part of bringing Brightside's visions to life- in her role as construction manager often leaving contractors in awe of her technical prowess and keen insights. Within our team, Merel manages some of our most challenging projects, acts as the primary liaison for Firma230, and is Maarten and Sander's right (and sometimes left) hand. This strong spirit extends to her private life, where she casually takes the lead in communicating with contractors and coordinating with fellow residents of her future appartment. How does one woman manage to do all of this at once? We are often left to wonder... To relax, she enjoys being with friends and exploring the country by train with her boyfriend.
