“As designers we must consider the time people will use and
experience our buildings so that we put forth as much effort as
possible to optimise these qualities. “
Rick makes a strong contribution to the delivery of Mecanoo’s
housing, educational and commercial office projects.
Not only has he been involved in numerous celebrated housing
projects such as Mecanoo’s St. Josephhof in Nijmegen but also
award-winning office and educational buildings including:
Philips’ Business Innovation Centre, FiftyTwoDegrees,
Nijmegen and Fontys Sports College, Eindhoven (WAF 2013
Best School Project).
His housing projects are characterised by varied sustainable
residential environments with carefully integrated public
spaces creating distinct identities. His educational projects like
Fontys Sports College reflect a keen attention to innovation in
educational program delivery. The design of exciting spaces
for students, staff and visitors alike is also an important
consideration.
Rick joined Mecanoo in 2002 after graduating from the
Technical University of Delft. He became an Associate Architect
in 2013.
