Win: tender Utrecht Leeuwesteyn
With our proposal ‘De Omloop’, together with developer AM, Delta Vormgroep, Sustainer Homes and Koopmans, we won the tender for kavel 13a in Utrecht Leeuwesteyn. The project consists of 36 houses and 8 apartments around a collective garden. Circularity, biodiversity, rain water retention and a contemporary interpretation of Art Deco architecture played a key role in the proposal. More information here.
New project: World Food Center
We have been commissioned to design a series of four sustainable office buildings within the masterplan for the new World Food Center in Ede. With a timber construction combined with a breathable, damp open facade and roof we will create fully circular and healthy buildings, aligning to WFC’s ambitions to provide healthy work and research facilities for innovative food companies.
Completed: IJburg house
Recently the IJburg house has been completed and the owners moved in. As the first inhabitants of Centrumeiland, they enjoy free views over the surroundings from their top floor living room with loggia. For more information see the project page.
Office: space available for rent
In our studio in the Kauwgomballenfabriek in Amsterdam Overamstel, we have space available for 10-12 people. It’s a fantastic light and open office in a former industrial warehouse with high ceilings. We share meeting space, model room, lunch and good vibes. If you’re interested, please drop us a line.

Office update: working from home
Due to safety measures regarding the COVID-19 situation, we will be working from home for the time being. It will take some time to fully adjust to this new reality and we hope we can welcome you to our office again soon. In the mean time: stay healthy and stay in touch. We’ll be available online.
On site: ODW renovation
With the first part of the scaffolding removed the new contour of the single family house in Sloten became visible. The rooftop addition links previous extensions to the main house in one architectural gesture, with the old contour staying visible in the new situation as a hint from the past.
Completed: Short Stay Sloten
Short Stay Sloten has been completed! We’re very proud, as this was the first major project we got commissioned four years ago right after the start of our office. Contractor KBK did a fantastic job building this building, with sharp execution of the detailing, but also by excellent communication with the neighbours. Thanks to the whole team for the effort!

New project: Earthwatch
In collaboration with the EarthFlag Foundation, MEESVISSER is developing the EarthWatch Pavilion. This refuge, right in the heart of Amsterdam, is an open call to contemplation and meditation. Derived from the shape of the Earth Flag logo, this pavilion presents itself as a light structure opened to the surrounding landscape, and invites visitors to come together, discuss and share a moment of peace.
