GeO Architecten

What GeO Architecten does

GeO Architecten B.V. is a privately-held Dutch architecture firm headquartered in Schagen, North Holland, co-founded by Bas Groen (project coordinator and owner) and Maarten Overtoom (architect and owner). The firm provides comprehensive architectural design services across residential, healthcare, education, commercial, and public-sector projects, with a stated emphasis on sustainability, future-proof design, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. GeO maintains a compact team of approximately 13 professionals (11 named senior practitioners plus 2 junior staff) covering architecture, engineering, and project management functions, with no external investors or parent entities.

The firm's service offering spans eight vertical specializations: Particuliere Woningbouw (private residential), Projectmatige Woningbouw (project-based residential development), Restauratie en Hergebruik (restoration and adaptive reuse), Scholenbouw (school construction), Stedenbouwkundige Opgaven (urban planning), Utiliteitsbouw (commercial and government construction including military and laboratory facilities), Zorgbouw (healthcare), and Vraagstukken (specialized spatial inquiries), supported by a structured Proces Begeleiding covering the full lifecycle from initial consultation through construction supervision and handover. The technology stack centers on BIM/Revit for technical drawing, with 3D visualization and opt-in AR/VR for client presentations. Notable landmark projects include the 60-meter Toren Hoorn residential tower (209-219 units, 29,577 m² GFA), the Rozenbuurt masterplan (419 units across 10.1 hectares), Kooimeer (123 senior living units), and Grote Huizen (129 apartments).

GeO operates a sales-led professional services model, generating revenue through customized project quotations and multi-year engagements rather than published pricing tiers. Clients include regional real estate developers (Scholtens Projecten, Magnusveste Vastgoed, Timpaan, Pré Wonen, Bot Bouw, Helderse Bouw Kombinatie), government agencies (Rijksvastgoedbedrijf, Gemeente Schagen), and select private residential homeowners. Distribution is exclusively direct sales through consultation-based engagements with no active marketing campaign; the firm relies on a professional website, project portfolio, and referral relationships. A recurring collaboration with construction partner Aannemingsbedrijf Tuin Den Helder BV supports joint bidding on European tender projects. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is fully privately held by its two founders.
