negen graden architectuur is a young and ambitious team working from our offices in Amersfoort / NL and Oldenburg / D. We represent an organically functional, ecological and modern architecture where human health is put central. Ecological building for us is the obvious choice. A building that positively works on the life forces of man is a human, environmentally and economically meaningful and contemporary investment.
Our aim is to create a human architecture in all aspects. We therefore want the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of human involvement in our design process. This human relationship is the foundation for an organically functional architecture. We see it as a challenge to integrate buildings in existing urban- and landscape structures, in a contemporary manner and with respect for the past, to develop and strengthen the existing skills with new ideas.
The demand for sustainable and ecological aspects of building for us is obvious. In our materials we use as many eco-friendly materials with recycling capabilities as we can. The specific choice in material is given by the stylish, contemporary and sustainable aspects.
Sustainability is also about the lifetime of a building. Nothing is as polluting as to demolish and rebuilding a building every 30 years. All too often when it comes to durability, it is about the material aspects of the building. Shouldn't it have to go about the intangible aspects, the 'attachment' to the beauty of the object? Let people connect with their environment so that it comes naturally that we experience: "This is the world in which I live, I care for, for which I take responsibility!"
