About
Gijs Barendsen
Architect | 18.06.1996
Architect with a focus on sustainable design and community-driven spaces. My work explores the intersection of functionality, environmental responsibility, and human experience.
I believe in creating architecture that serves not just individual needs, but strengthens communities and respects our relationship with nature and food systems.
Each project begins with understanding the people who will inhabit the space and the context in which it exists. From multi-generational housing to culinary neighborhoods, my designs aim to foster connection and improve quality of life.
