Mission
" Experiential and future-proof building requires thoughtful, adaptable design and material choices.
Design is an ongoing and demand-driven process between users and builders of serviceable and generous spaces with the aim of creating harmonious coexistence for people and nature, climate and culture, ...
In the interplay of structure and sensory infills, environmental experiences can connect emotionally at the scale of the user, the object, the furniture, the place, the building, the city and the landscape through time. "

Office
joranmarijsse architecture is an architectural office for experiential and future-proof environments : architecture, interior and landscape. Originating from an interest in how people- and nature-friendly environments can have a positive influence on our daily well-being, we focus on sustainable and flexible (re)construction. We pay attention to experience, health, nature, detailling, use of materials and space from the perspective of the end users /
New construction, renovation, interior design, master planning, design research, project development, real estate consultancy ... every assignment, is received with the utmost care within a sustainable concept. Looking to the future is hereby essential /
For proper empathy, we first conduct an in-depth research into the wish list, space usage, living patterns and experiences, the neighbouring environment the socio-cultural context, the budget, the technicality, the look and feel,... /
Using scenarios, together we can develop a shared vision, improve the existing or design new strategies.
Each time, we try to be creative with available budgets and opportunities to get the most out of each project.
We weigh up different materials, devise possible phases and discuss the various implementation options at an early stage /
During the design process, a master plan is developed systematically and with the help of some powerful visualisations.
This master plan allows for close monitoring and adjustment of the project at all times.
As a result, we offer more than an answer to an actual (and temporary?) programme and also avoid half-work, lock-in situations and double costs afterwards /
How well a space is tailored to people's needs, thereby influencing the quality of staying and functioning in a space. That is why design happens from the inside. Based on end-users' experiences, we give the spaces their functionality and architectural quality. Following the inclusion principle, we want to enable a surprising experience for everyone /
The form always aims for simplicity and flexibility for a sustainable use of materials and space. This is tested with the different usage scenarios throughout the intended life of the building and its surroundings. The circular process of 'research - scenario - master plan - design' is hereby and creatively contemplative. /
Our clients and their environment have a unique character and are given a personalised perspective. All facets are sublimated with new inputs from the project architect and selected building partners. By cooperating intensively from the outset, we aim for an emergent quality that allows each project to exceed the set expectations /
