What Kampman Architecten does

Kampman Architecten bv is a Dutch architecture and engineering firm headquartered in Naaldwijk with additional offices in Arnhem and Alphen aan den Rijn through the Wubben.Chan group. The firm designs residential (woningbouw) and commercial (utiliteitsbouw) projects across the Netherlands for developers including VanWonen, AM, NU Projectontwikkeling, ABB Bouwgroep, and Stebru, with a portfolio spanning student housing, starter homes, family housing, care housing, hospitality, municipal buildings, and energy infrastructure substations.

The firm's technical differentiator is its proprietary Prefab Houtbouwsysteem (prefabricated timber construction system), co-developed with construction partner Van Vliet Bouw and financed for further development by Amvest's Living & Care Fund. The system uses cross-laminated timber (CLT/massiefhoutbouw), biobased insulation, and innovations such as wooden lift shafts to enable factory-prefabricated building elements that are rapidly assembled on-site with minimal environmental disruption. Kampman has signed the Biobased Bouwen declaration alongside 60+ parties, aligning with the Dutch 30/30/30 sustainability target for 2030.

The firm operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model, earning fees on architectural design and engineering commissions quoted per project. Go-to-market is direct engagement with developers, municipalities, housing corporations, healthcare providers, and energy utilities, supported by a portfolio website, project case studies, and LinkedIn presence. The company is privately held as a subsidiary of Wubben.Chan with no disclosed external funding, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Marcel Kampman remains active as founder, with Jorne Olthof serving as Algemeen directeur (General Director) and Mike Wubben as Eigenaar/Innovator.

Direct peers

• de Architekten Cie. Amsterdam-based architecture firm specializing in large-scale residential and mixed-use urban developments. Highly comparable to Kampman in focus on Dutch urban housing projects of comparable scale (hundreds of units per scheme).
• Mecanoo: Established Dutch architecture firm with deep expertise in residential, healthcare, and sustainable design. Comparable to Kampman in typology mix and Dutch origin, but considerably larger and with international project reach.
• cepezed: Dutch architecture firm with a strong focus on industrial, modular, and sustainable building solutions. Comparable to Kampman in its Dutch base, sustainability focus, and integration of prefabrication methods, though cepezed operates at larger scale and broader scope.
• LIAG architecten: Dutch architecture and urban design firm covering residential, healthcare, and public-sector projects. Directly comparable in size, Dutch regional footprint, and project typologies (residential, healthcare, public buildings) similar to Kampman's portfolio.
• ZUS (Zones Urbaines Sensibles): Dutch architecture and urbanism practice known for sustainable and socially-driven residential and public projects. Comparable to Kampman in Dutch footprint, sustainability ethos, and residential/public project mix.
• BDG Architecten: Dutch architecture firm active in residential, healthcare, and education sectors. Comparable in size, Dutch regional focus, and project typology overlap with Kampman's residential and healthcare work (e.g., Futura Zorg).

Broad incumbents

• Royal HaskoningDHV: Major Dutch engineering and architecture consultancy. Overlaps with Kampman on architectural design and engineering services for Dutch buildings and infrastructure, but offers a much wider portfolio beyond architecture.
• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and architecture consultancy headquartered in the Netherlands. Operates in the same Dutch sustainable building and urban development space as Kampman but at vastly larger scale, with overlapping capabilities as a broader incumbent.

Emerging players

• Studio MAKS: Younger Dutch architecture practice focused on sustainable residential and urban projects. Comparable to Kampman in sustainability positioning and Dutch housing focus, though smaller in scale and project complexity.
• Farmer & Boer: Dutch architecture firm specializing in biobased and circular construction methods. Directly comparable to Kampman's biobased/biobased bouwen positioning and CLT/timber prefab expertise, representing an emerging niche competitor in sustainable Dutch residential design.
