Visit Damruststraat 3 during the Open Office Day, a shared workspace of four different architecture firms in the Oude Noorden.

Namelok

Namelok is a context-driven architecture and design studio, founded in 2015. We work on a wide range of projects, from private residences and exhibitions to public interiors, hotels, and more. Our designs strive for sustainability—not only in their physical construction but also in their lasting contribution to the cultural and social landscapes they help shape.

Falsework

Falsework was founded by Violette Schönberger and Tim Peeters in 2022. Falsework designs and explores architecture and urban planning for the future, based on strong analyses of the present and the past. Through design-driven research, we work on resilient neighborhoods and democratic spaces. Both partners regularly publish on architecture and urbanism in various professional journals and teach at the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture.

Platform Woonopgave

Platform Woonopgave is a growing collective of architects, urban planners, developers, builders, policymakers, government bodies, and anyone concerned with the current housing crisis. The platform seeks alternative solutions to the housing crisis that are affordable, sustainable, and future-proof. We do this through visual analysis, design research and by developing our own Action Agenda for Housing.

Studio Meent

Studio Meent is a young design office founded by Sanne van Manen. It focuses on social and collective design challenges in the fields of architecture, urbanism, and research.
