About Paul de Ruiter Architects
Our firm was founded in 1994 on the PhD research project "The Chameleon Skin" by Paul de Ruiter, in which he argued that buildings should generate energy rather than consume it - both technically and humanly. This conviction has been the foundation of our work for over thirty years. We design sustainable buildings that know where the sun rises and in which people feel happy and inspired. We are leaders in healthy, circular, and energy-generating construction, both nationally and internationally. From the first climate facade for Radboud University (1994) and the self-sufficient Villa Kogelhof (2013), to the first LEED Platinum office for TNT. We also realized projects such as the almost entirely biobased Biosintrum, the energy-positive Langeveld Building based on the power of the wind, and we transform monuments into Paris-proof buildings, including C93 in Rotterdam.
