Firm Statement
CORNELISSEVERRIJT is set up in 2006 by Floris Cornelisse and Robert Verrijt. Both graduated in the field of architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University Delft in 2003. Hereafter they worked at several architecture firms. The direct motive to start an architecture practice is the winning of the eighth edition of the Europan competition for the redevelopment of the municipal warf in Enschede (NL). In this project there is a strong interaction between the landscape, city and architecture. In the tension between these disciplines the interest of Cornelisse and Verrijt is in complex, spatial questions.
For the work which is located in several different socio cultural and historical environments, an open and explorative attitude is required. This provokes a strategy in which one searches for the right intervention in the right place. In doing so the office strives each time for broadly supported solutions which can organise and lift up their environment.
Since many, sometimes contradictory dilemmas influence the design briefs, we value clear concepts, which act as guiding principles during the design process. A continuously reoccurring question is how the design can contribute to the transforming image of the landscape and city and how it can become a part of the human experience.
