HAPPEL CORNELISSE (NL)

Happel Cornelisse Architects is a young agency with a broad scope; in all their projects they seek out the ever-changing relationships between landscape, town and architecture. As the design process is affected by so many decisions, they place great emphasis on a liberal and investigative attitude. As a result, their architectural designs are more than a simple answer to a given brief; rather, they are the direct result of meticulous typological research and a penchant for regional materials and references. In a time of forever changing environments, they set much store by traditional techniques and craftsmanship. Durability, therefore, is a logical aspect of all their decision-making regarding design, use of materials and architectural detail.
