Allard Meine Jansen (1970)

  • MSc - Technical University, Delft, The Netherlands - 1998

Philosophy

Our approach towards questions in architecture is culturally motivated. We work with an awareness of all elements of the design process to transform our thoughts into reality. Our architecture is not only art that is functional but pragmatic, as we strive to serve the needs of our clients. Listening carefully to our clients and analyzing data we find the precise direction for each project and present this direction through models, drawings and reference images. Our goal on this journey is to go a step well beyond our clients initial expectations.

We are a new architectural office founded in 2006 by Ir. Allard Meine Jansen. Located in Jordaan, the historic centre of Amsterdam, the office is situated in a former legendary boxing school. The ground floor has been completely transformed and now contains a working studio and presentation area.

Our capabilities include building design, urban design, landscape design, and industrial design. We have the ability to communicate in English, Dutch, Italian, French and German. Using the latest software, we are able to produce progressive and cost effective design solutions. Allard Meine Jansen is registered in The Netherlands.

With strong management skills, he has now eight years work experience on high profile design projects, working in many countries and communicating in four languages. Since starting his own practice, he is involved in private houses, public/commercial buildings and urban/landscape projects.
