pre-MCW
I came to the UK after working for more than 11 years in the Netherlands. The Dutch architecture scene with its bold and experimental concepts has been my prime inspiration. I have worked for some time in Kees Christiaanse’s practice KCAP at Rotterdam and I continue to believe in strong design strategies, the importance of quality public space and simple inexpensive detailing.
I am trained as architect in my hometown Munich. A defining year out as an Erasmus student at the Technical University Delft made me return to the Netherlands immediately after graduation. Having completed a number of projects varying from a public library to commercial office complexes, residential developments in East London and large scale master planning it was time to make the move to Cambridge.
“I love the smell of concrete in the morning.”
MCW
I really do enjoy the team work, progressive thinking and challenging projects at MCW. I feel that I can use both my conceptual skills and technical knowledge.
And never have I worked in a practice where all colleagues (and partners) get along so well.
outside MCW
I have a 7-year old boy and a 5-year old little girl. Do I need to say more: they and their busy social life keep me occupied. Our little international family shares our time between Finland, Germany and the UK. We are travelling a lot, strikingly our son had a passport before he was 2 weeks old.
I like skiing and mountains, films and Bavarian beer.
