Area, construction cost, status and the thing that was difficult. One of the six is not being built, and it is here because a practice that only shows completed work is hiding most of what architecture is.

Won on a competition where we were the only entrant who costed the façade. The winning image is not the one in the brochure — it is the one where the brick returns are drawn at 1:5.

A 1920s hall turned into workshops. The structural survey came back worse than anyone hoped and we spent six weeks redesigning down, rather than pretending the first scheme still stood up.

Refused once by the welstandscommissie on the roof form, redrawn, approved four months later. Both versions are on the permits page, because the refusal taught us more than the approval.

The client shelved it after the interest-rate move in 2023. We are showing it anyway — a practice that only shows built work is hiding two thirds of what architecture actually is.

Built in two summer holidays around a working school. The programme, not the form, was the design problem — and the classroom that got the north light was the argument that took longest.

Small, salty, and the detail that mattered was a stainless fixing nobody sees. Two years on it looks the same, which is the only review of a coastal building worth having.
