MIX architectuur

What MIX architectuur does

MIX architectuur B.V. is a privately held Dutch architecture firm founded in April 2005 by Jorrit Blom (zakelijk directeur) and Reinier Ubels (architect directeur), headquartered in Ede, Netherlands. The firm designs residential, landscape-integrated, and healthcare architecture with a stated emphasis on integrated, accessible, and sustainable environments, organised around typologies that include urban housing, landscape-oriented living, area design, timber construction (houtbouw), apartments, care facilities, utility buildings, and social housing.

The firm operates a project-based B2B professional services model, acquiring work through competitive public tenders, direct commissions, and repeat client relationships with Dutch property developers, housing corporations (woningcorporaties), healthcare organisations, and municipalities. Project-based fees are negotiated per commission. The firm pairs conceptual architectural design with bouwkundige engineering (structural construction documentation) using a Revit-based BIM workflow led by BIM-coordinator Maarten Baakman, with generative design techniques (Python scripting, Autodesk Dynamo) introduced by team members Davy van Kempen and Jesse Dellemann. MIX employs approximately 40 staff and operates from the biobased MIX-paviljoen office at the forest edge of Ede.

MIX differentiates through proprietary design methodologies: collectiviteit (collective spaces fostering community), natuurinclusief ontwerp (nature-inclusive design), dialogue with the past (heritage-informed contextual design), biobased/circular construction (CLT timber, prefabricated modules), and meticulous detail design. The firm collaborates with landscape architects (MAAK space), developers (NBU, AM, BPD, Heijmans, VanWonen, Ter Steege, deltaWonen, Consilium, Ten Brinke), housing corporations (Woonstede, Woongoed Zeist, Rochdale, Dudok Wonen), healthcare operators (Opella, Charim), and engineering partners within consortium-based tender teams. Recognised with multiple Dutch architecture awards (Award Natuurinclusief Bouwen en Ontwerpen 2019, Gouden IJsselsteen 2020, BNA Beste Gebouw 2018, ARCHIPRIX 2020), the firm expanded its directie to four partners in April 2025 with the promotion of Silvester Klomp and Koen Everaars alongside the founders.
