The Studio
Strijkers Studio responds to a changing world. As companies and institutions redefine their values, ambitions and ways of working, the spatial environment must evolve with them.
Strijkers Studio operates at the intersection of spatial strategy, consultancy and design. We support clients in reformulating their mission and translating it into spatial concepts that strengthen identity, performance and long-term relevance.
Our work focuses on unlocking commercial, social and cultural opportunities — often through the transformation of existing buildings and spaces. We believe in a robust integration of nature, interior and exterior, and in design that is both grounded and future-facing.
Our process extends from strategic exploration and briefing to concept development, design and realization. Strijkers Studio is a networked design agency led by Eline Strijkers.
