Team
Ruimte started with a single question: why do so many apartments feel smaller than they are? Not because of their footprint, but because of the decisions made inside them. We built a studio to solve exactly that. Architecture, interior design and the complete build, an independent collaboration coordinated by Jantien, working from one brief.
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. Before Ruimte she spent a decade in strategy consulting and banking. That background is why every Ruimte project runs on time, on budget and without surprises.
Michał
Michal trained in Lodz and has spent six years working in Amsterdam. He turns spatial ideas into precise architectural drawings, floor plans and 3D models. When a wall moves on paper, Michal has already thought through what happens to the ceiling, the light and the room next door.
Anita
Anita turns a feeling into a room. Before a single material is chosen, she builds the atmosphere through moodboards, light and the careful combination of texture and colour. She has a rare ability to understand what a client is envisioning before they have found the words for it.
Zoë
Zoë already knows what she wants to do. She is still at school, where her highest grade is drawing. At Ruimte she helps with floor plans and spatial drawings. She is the only person on the team who has never had to unlearn anything.
Stefania
Stefania can change how a room feels without moving a wall. She styles and photographs every Ruimte project, with an eye for composition that makes the difference between a good photo and one that stops you scrolling.
Roel
Roel has thirty years of renovation experience across Amsterdam. He could have been a poet or a philosopher. Instead he became a contractor who never raises his voice, never panics and never cuts a corner. On a building site, those are rare and treasured qualities.
Nemo
Nemo works alongside Roel and can turn his hand to almost anything. From custom cabinetry to structural work, he brings the same quiet precision to every part of the build.
