As a result, low level energy consumption realized. Build with the expression of real materials. Materials as they are.

Mission:

Beautiful, alluring tailor-made design
Egeon Architects are convinced that well made design lasts longer and thus is more sustainable. They think it is important that a design has its own place in the whole, and that users will be able to identify themselves with the building. They combine their knowledge and experience of architecture, environmental and product design.

Building in a sustainable manner
Egeon Architects are aware of their responsibility to the environment and promote the use of sustainable materials and techniques. Due to the increase in the number of sustainable techniques, the options for a tailored package of facilities are enlarged.

Life-cycle resistant
A building does not need to be finished: it is a dynamic process of change and adjustment in time. Use of the building is subject to change, because also the users and their needs and requirements change. Architecture should be able to give room to and anticipate this process. Practically it means that the possibilities for change are included. In this way a building is a repository of events, instead of an occasional shelter.

Passion for engineering
Our optimistic view of the future is accompanied by historical awareness and innovative techniques are combined with craftmanship. Egeon Architects can build themselves and really like the building process . Some of the items they try scale 1:1 to be sure of their solutions. They keep the cooperating parties sharp by asking further questions and preferably they accompany the construction during the implementation to ensure the quality is guaranteed. In this way they will make sure that special details not only exist on paper.
