Bekkering Adams architecten is a dynamic and versatile office, founded in 1997 in Rotterdam by Juliette Bekkering and reinforced with Monica Adams in 2005.


With an enthusiastic international team of approximately 8 people the office works on outstanding and innovative projects. The commissions vary from complex building assignments to concept development, ranging from housing to public buildings, from urbanplan to interior Design. Over the years a distinct oeuvre has been established, characterized by sculptural and explicit buildings.

The aim is to strive for innovation and the enrichment of existing qualities. The main focus is to fortify the identity and quality of the built environment, with a special attention to the role of public and collective spaces.
The purpose of the office is to make buildings with a soul, and to create sustainable environments that appeal to the senses.
Joyous, unique and precision are the keywords from which the office operates, always cherishing the joy of Designing.
