Fundamental Architects

fundamental is a Rotterdam-based fully digital architecture and interior design studio. Our team of design professionals and worldwide partners work collaboratively with our clients to create unconventional solutions and a renewed perspective of everyday spaces in various parts of the world.

we create personal and poetic, but functional and rational outdoor and indoor spaces to live, work, create and enjoy life. We believe that your environment defies who you are or who you aim to be. And we’re happy to help you create the environment you deserve to be surrounded with.

we especially enjoy working with unusual assignments and challenging plots: long and narrow or huge and undefined, next to the highway or hard to reach ones in the middle of nowhere, on a complex landscape on top of the mountain or on a tiny plot cramped between existing buildings.

we don’t believe in following a specific style, since we believe every person is unique and deserves a unique approach. Our clients are our inspirations. Their stories, their passion, their fears, their love serve as a starting point of our projects.

we don’t have a fixed services list, since your dreams should not have confines. We are happy to explore the best possible realization of your vision together with you. So, let’s cross the line and make a step closer to fulfill your ambitions and long-lasting dreams.

core design principles:

mindful(ness) - we live in a new fast-paced digital era, where we regularly find ourselves caught in a loop of constant stress and pressure. Necessity for space to recharge our mind and body becomes vital to our well-being. Mindful approach and methodology in creating such new environments can bring back the balance and help people thrive. It is an essential part of the new reality of building a better version of ourselves.

empathy - we care about things you care. We find every detail that is important to you is also important to us. Starting from the analysis of client’s daily habits to the selection of the door handle’s material, we base our approach on creating personalized micro-universe that enriches and fulfils the lives of everyone it touches. It becomes a reflection of our clients’ stories, their passion, their fears and their love.

timeless - wwe focus on creating built environment that will outlast trends, fashion statements and will be relevant for generations to come. It is honest, contextual, flexible and adaptable to meet any future desires of its lifetime. Built with human psychology and spatial functionalism in mind to create a perfect harmony that blends the boundaries between today and tomorrow.

synergetic
we believe in harmony between human and nature. It translates to every aspect of their interaction: from air quality, materials origin and tactile experiences to sustainable design and construction principles. It is a universal concept of living with an understanding and appreciation of the world around us.

lifelong learning
we are eager to take on new challenges, learn something new and do something we never did before. Since every project has its own blend of various conditions and goals to be achieved, we believe it is important to remain open and curious. It is a principle of core importance to find new opportunities and bring most daring ideas into life.
