Principal architect / urbanist on a broad variety of projects, ranging from urban design and architecture to interior design.Did you know that you are more productive, less sick and live longer when you are happy?Your environment has a major impact on your health, well-being and happiness!We are the first and only designers to create environments based entirely on the residents' experience of happiness. Hence our credo: 'Form Follows Happiness'.We pay attention to all aspects of residents' happiness, both physically, mentally and socially. So a holistic approach.A close relationship with nature is of great importance here; our biobased and biophylic designs contribute positively to nature development and biodiversity and therefore to the happiness of residents.And not without results: sustainable growth, happier people, higher labor productivity and significant reduction in healthcare costs.This is also interesting financially; every euro invested yields up to 36 euros!#FormFollowsHappiness
