Dutch Health Architects

What Dutch Health Architects does

Dutch Health Architects (DHA) is a Rotterdam-based joint venture formed by two leading Dutch architectural firms, Gortemaker Algra Feenstra architects and engineers and EGM architects, both specialised in healthcare design. The firm provides full-scope hospital and care-facility architecture services — sustainable design, Evidence-Based Design (EBD), Healing Environment planning grounded in Planetree philosophy, BIM, structural design, and building physics — to healthcare systems and hospital operators ranging from general and university hospitals to children's hospitals, nursing homes, and medical centres. Its project portfolio spans the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia, China, Indonesia, Dubai, Peru, the USA, and Suriname, with flagship references including the 43,000 sqm Next Generation Hospital Bratislava (opened March 2023) and the Aspen Medical Hospital Depok greenfield project in Indonesia (construction start November 2024).\n\nDHA operates a professional services model, earning project-based design fees under quote-driven contracts won via competitive bidding and direct enterprise engagement with hospital operators. The firm has no disclosed pricing, no recurring software revenue, and no public ownership signals. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct relationships with healthcare systems and public-sector clients — supplemented by a website portfolio, industry events, and earned media around project milestones. In 2023 DHA extended its delivery model through the Emerald Hospital Design (EHD) joint venture with engineering partner Deerns and TeamworX, packaging architecture with engineering for international programmes such as the Sanusa Hospitals in Indonesia. Headcount sits at 11-50 employees and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
