Philosophy

JagerJanssen architects BNA [2003] was established by architects Alex Jager [1976] and Rogier Janssen [1976]. The architecture studio is housed underneath the monumental 'Hofbogen' in Rotterdam. The team consists of 3 inspired designers working on spatial design issues of various nature, such as private villas, feasibility studies and architectural visions.

Both form and organization of our projects are a logic outcome of an intensive and inspiring dialogue between architect and client. We do not necessarily work towards a predefined image. The main aspiration of JagerJanssen's architectural practice is SIMPLICITY. We strive for simplicity by constantly abstracting and searching for Logic, Consequence and Legibility in design. Hence, abstracted space is created, allowing for multiple interpretations by its observer. A meticulously designed space does not force itself onto its user, it mirrors emotion and stays dynamic trough time.
