What Lugten Malschaert Architecten does

Lugten Malschaert Architecten, now operating as Stijl/LM*A* Architecten following its 2023 acquisition by Stijl Architectuur, is a privately held Dutch architecture practice headquartered in Dordrecht with a second office opened in Breda in 2026. The firm offers full-scope architectural services across five categories: offices and commercial buildings (Kantoren/Bedrijven), restoration and renovation including monuments (Restauratie/Renovatie), private residential housing (Woningbouw Particulier), large-scale housing projects for housing corporations and developers (Woningbouw Projecten), and healthcare and social-sector facilities (Zorg/Maatschappelijk).

The practice combines architectural design with in-house building physics expertise and regulatory compliance capability, supported by BIM coordinators and modelleurs, a monument specialist, and a building physics advisor. Client work spans private individuals, housing corporations, developers, healthcare providers, and commercial businesses, with a stated emphasis on accessible, directive project guidance from concept through construction.

Revenue is generated through custom project-based professional service fees; no public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed. The firm is privately held with no external institutional funding, and the partner group as of 2024 consists of Bertil Dekker, Tom Rijvers, and Jeroen Markusse. The business is geographically concentrated in the southern Netherlands, with the Breda branch representing a deliberate expansion into the Noord-Brabant market.

The practice combines architectural craftsmanship with building physics knowledge and regulatory compliance, supported by BIM modeling capabilities.
