Doepel Strijkers Architects
With a focus on sustainable technologies and biophilic design principles, we create immersive spaces that blur the boundaries between the natural and built environment. This approach reflects our commitment to ecological responsibility and desire to create dynamic and engaging spaces that evoke collective experiences that are meaningful and memorable.
From initial concept through to construction and completion, we are committed to creating timeless architecture that truly makes a difference. Our work has been widely published and exhibited internationally primarily because we aim to address relevant societal issues on different scales.
Bioclimatic design
We search for ways that local culture, climate and building traditions can inform a project. Bioclimatic design is an approach that integrates ecological and climatic factors into building design in order to minimize energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions.
By taking advantage of natural resources such as sunlight, wind, and water to regulate temperature and ventilation, the buildings require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Green roofs and integrated greenery help to mitigate the urban heat island effect, insulate the building, and improve indoor air quality. The use of locally sourced circular and biobased materials, reduces the environmental impact of the building and supports the local economy.
Utilising bioclimatic design principles helps us create buildings that are not only environmentally friendly but also functional and comfortable for their occupants.
Immersive design
We aim to create memorable moments and collective experiences by designing spaces that engage users and evoke emotion.
We approach immersive design on a spectrum, from static to dynamic. By adding digital tools such as adaptive lighting, sound, smell, and interactive objects, we can enhance the user experience.
In addition, we explore how artificial intelligence can be used as a tool to inform our design process. As the virtual and physical worlds merge, we are committed to investigating the possibilities this creates to tailor make the individual user experience or customer journey.
Our interdisciplinary team works passionately on creating immersive spaces that are relevant, engaging and visually stunning.
Full-service
As a full-service office we organise the entire design process for architecture and interior projects, from concept design to delivery. We also take other disciplines such as graphic design, landscape design, and digital design under our wings. In this way, we can integrally create the best environments in which the building, technology, signage, website, and landscape are all designed within the framework of a total concept. For large companies with multiple stores or offices, we translate this into a Brand Book for implementation in different locations.
