office
RAUMPLAN is founded in 2019 by David Klinkhamer and Roel van der Zeeuw. Both partners have worked at renowned architecture firms and have gained extensive experience in designing and developing a diverse range of projects in The Netherlands and abroad.
RAUMPLAN is operating in both the field of architecture as cooperative development since it believes the combination of the two practices in one office can bring new insights to the way an architectural project is realised.
RAUMPLAN engages in all architectural and urbanist design, creating projects of all scales ranging from furniture to masterplanning. The practice also connects academic research and teaching to its work as it considers a vital relationship between the two as mutually beneficial in creating unexpected views and crossovers.
With a background in both architecture and business, David combines the practice of architecture with entrepreneurship to initiate meaningful new forms of (cooperative) development. Prior to founding RAUMPLAN, David worked as associate at Marc Koehler Architects where he has led a designteam of several award winning projects and co-establised the Superlofts concept with Marc Koehler. As a member of the Management Team, David contributed to develop MKA to a successful company with 25-30 employees.
David holds a Master of Architecture from the Delft University of Technology where he graduated with honors, and studied at the School of Business at Trinity College Dublin.
