Team
Ruimte started with a single question: why do so many Amsterdam apartments feel smaller than they are? Not because of their footprint, but because of the decisions made inside them. We work at the intersection of architecture, materials, and project management — three disciplines that rarely speak to each other, and should.
Jantien
Jantien has spent fifteen years finding the room inside the room. She reads a floor plan the way others read a face — looking for what it's trying to hide.
Michał
Michał trained in Warsaw and worked in Copenhagen before Amsterdam. He brings a Northern European rigidity to structure that makes every centimetre deliberate.
Anita
Anita knows what oak looks like after five winters, and which plaster cracks by year three. She chooses materials the way a tailor chooses cloth — for how they age, not just how they look.
Zoë
Zoë grew up watching spaces change. Now she's the one drawing them. She brings a generation's instinct for how people actually live — and a useful habit of asking why something has always been done that way.
Three disciplines. One brief. No wasted space.
