Description: Drost + van Veen Architects in Rotterdam looks at landscape as its primary source of inspiration for its designs. These designs either strongly merge into the context of their landscape or really stand out like a beacon. Next to this conceptual approach, materialization is quite an important aspect of the working method for these two architects, both of whom were originally educated as interior designers.
