We have long been a professional party and we are distinctive in our field. We are continuously developing new concepts, which are serving to the context.

B+O Architecture and Urban Design is an innovative, entrepreneurial and multi-disciplinary architectural firm located in Meppel and Amsterdam (the Netherlands). B+O Architecture and Urban Design is a challenging, entrepreneurial and multi -disciplinary architectural firm with extensive expertise within the various disciplines of architecture. This means that we always take the context as a starting point and substantiate within the set limits. We therefore stand for contextual architecture: versatile, powerful , extremely diverse and not to be summarized in one style. Our project portfolio ranges from private houses and redevelopment tasks to large-scale healthcare and retail projects. In every project we strive for maximum sustainability, in the broadest sense of the word. We have extensive knowledge and experience in the construction of energy-neutral, passive and self-sufficient houses . We have also worked on a number of redevelopment projects. We anticipate in any design issues that will play in the future. A design is truly sustainable when it can be properly adapted to the requirements of the time.

Ruimte voor ruimte: creating new opportunities for the Dutch countryside

What happens to agricultural farmsteads when their original function disappears? These sites offer opportunities to rethink how we live, while preserving the character of the landscape and creating a sustainable future for rural areas.

The Dutch principle of ruimte voor ruimte (“space for space”) can create opportunities for new housing through the removal of redundant agricultural buildings. The challenge is to ensure that new developments are not only feasible, but also respond to the unique qualities of each location.

At B+O Architectuur en Stedenbouw, we believe every site deserves an individual approach. That is why we start by exploring the landscape, history and development potential of each farmstead or area. This understanding forms the basis for plans that bring together spatial quality, cultural heritage and feasibility.

Our approach is reflected in projects such as Knooperf in Langeveen, Prinses op de Es in Ansen, Erve Hulst in Staphorst and Erve Wink in Ansen. Each creates a new living environment rooted in the identity of its surroundings, contributing to the vitality of the Dutch countryside.

From quick scans and feasibility studies to urban design, architecture, omgevingsplannen and project management, B+O guides the entire process — from the first idea to its realisation.

By reimagining former agricultural farmsteads, we create places for the future that build on the qualities of the past.

On Saturday, we stepped away from our drawings and screens and went to Soesterberg to experience our projects through the eyes of the people who live there.
We visited a place where different forms of living and care come together. A historic villa has been given a new life as housing, alongside two new buildings. One provides supported living for people with dementia, while the other is designed for people who may need care in the future.

But there is more to this place than the buildings themselves.

From the beginning, we have aimed to design with the landscape, allowing the new buildings, open spaces and surrounding nature to become part of one coherent environment. The character of the site and its natural setting are an essential part of the experience of living here.

And this time, we weren’t there simply to look at the architecture.

We sat down with the residents and listened. What works well? What makes everyday life easier? What do they enjoy? What do they struggle with? And where could we, as architects, do better?

These conversations remind us why we do what we do.
As architects, we don’t design for buildings. We design for people. We design spaces that support everyday life, create a sense of belonging and connect people with each other and with their surroundings.

That is why listening to the people who use our buildings is so important. Their experiences give us an understanding that drawings and plans alone can never provide.
Because a project is not truly finished when construction is complete. It comes to life when people move in, make it their own and become part of it.
And by listening, observing and learning from real life, we can keep making our next projects better.
Architecture starts with people — and with the places they call home.

What makes Nijeveen, Nijeveen? And what does the future of the village look like?
During the participation evening, we explored these questions together with the residents of Nijeveen. With a map and a table full of post-its, valuable conversations emerged about the future of the village and the development of the new multifunctional centre.

From facilities for all ages and space for sports and local associations, to the village’s identity and sense of community. Ideas were shared, wishes were expressed and critical questions were asked.

As architects, we believe it is important not only design for a village, but with the people who live there. The input gathered during this evening will therefor be taken into account in the further development of the plans. The valuable insights shared by the residents help us better understand what truly matters to Nijeveen.

Creating places for people, with people.

Last week, construction works commenced on our newly designed development project on the site of the former Lord Nelson dance club in Meppel.

Located in the heart of the city’s historic centre, the project will deliver modern residential apartments complemented by an active ground floor designated for commercial use. The development will create new opportunities for living and business while contributing to the continued revitalisation and growth of Meppel’s city centre.

Today we celebrate the official opening of the hotel in the old Horticultural School in Frederiksoord, following a thorough restoration and renovation. After years of vacancy, this national monument has been given new life. The location, which is closely linked to the history of education within the Colonies of Benevolence, is now ready for the future. The building has been carefully restored and renovated with respect for its monumental character and meets contemporary hospitality requirements.

The project brings together restoration, repurposing and sustainability. The building is completely gas-free and equipped with solar panels. Starting tomorrow, guests can stay in one of the 15 hotel rooms and experience
the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Frederiksoord.

Projects like this are about more than architecture. They are about continuity — preserving stories from the past while simultaneously creating space for new stories.
