What DEDRIE Architecten does

DEDRIE Architecten is a private Dutch architecture firm (DEDRIE architecten B.V.) operating as a direct-to-client professional services studio headquartered at De Steeg 3, 6333 AT Schimmert, Netherlands. The firm runs eight service categories — private residential, apartments/living, offices, culture, hospitality, retail, city centres, and private commissions — across the Netherlands and Belgium, delivering design through to realisation oversight for municipalities, real estate developers, corporate clients, and individual homeowners.

The practice is anchored by founder-architect Ger Rosier and partner-architect Wilbert Pinckaers, supported by a six-person team that includes an architectural-construction designer, a structural engineer/BIM modeller, and two additional architects, with an open vacancy for a Bouwkundig Ontwerp(st)er. Core technology is BIM-based design using Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp, complemented by proprietary modular systems (notably the 2:1 dimensioning ratio developed for the 130m Porter House Rotterdam residential tower) and documented expertise in energy-neutral and heritage-sensitive architecture (De Steeg zero-energy office, De Reusch water tower transformation).

Revenue is generated on a per-project professional-services fee basis, billed across project phases, with no public pricing. Go-to-market is portfolio-driven via a bilingual Dutch/English website and Instagram, supplemented by direct referrals and professional networks; clients engage the firm by emailing or calling individual architects. The customer base spans government and public institutions (Gemeente Venlo, Sittard-Geleen, Zaanstad, Tilburg, iba parkstad), enterprise real estate developers (3W Real Estate, FiMek Estate, Weski Vastgoed, NRBK, RO Groep, Vesteda, The View of Rotterdam), corporate and professional services firms (LexQuire International Tax & Law, MediReva), and hospitality operators (Landal Greenparks, Maison Village, De Reusch). The firm has not raised external capital and operates as an independent B.V.
