What WOMO Architects does

WOMO Architects is an Amsterdam-based architecture and urban design practice founded in 2018 by Imola Bérczi and Wouter de Jonge. The firm provides full-service architectural services spanning feasibility consulting, conceptual and schematic design, and construction administration, organized into four service categories (Work & Creative Campuses, Revitalize Adaptive Reuse, Inhabit Residential, and Gather Culture & Masterplans), supplemented by Asset Analysis services. Its core technical differentiators are a Structural Reuse Methodology, mass timber construction, Triple-Ground Landscape Integration, and circular economy design principles developed across more than 100 projects in 35 cities and 20 countries.

The firm serves enterprise-level real estate investors and developers, government and public-sector clients, and select corporate clients. Notable engagements include adaptive reuse and masterplan projects for TPG Angelo Gordon, APF International, Seritage Growth Properties, Schroders Capital, Greybirch, Flow Real Estate, QIC Global Real Estate, Incheon Metropolitan City, and Tartu City Government, with project footprints ranging from approximately 8,100 m² to 105,200 m². AIR Offices Rotterdam, a 39,500 m² adaptive reuse for TPG Angelo Gordon, NEOO, and Schroders Capital, achieved BREEAM Excellent, WELL Gold, and WiredScore Gold certifications and avoided an estimated 27,000 cubic tons of carbon versus new construction.

WOMO operates a project-based professional services revenue model, generating fees from negotiated architecture and design engagements. Distribution is direct to enterprise clients with no intermediaries; marketing relies on a project portfolio website and LinkedIn presence of founding partners. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and shows no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
