Atelier LOOSvanVLIET

What Atelier LOOSvanVLIET does

Atelier LOOSvanVLIET is a privately held Dutch landscape architecture and urban design studio founded in 2009 and headquartered in Haarlem, Netherlands. The firm provides four integrated service lines: landscape architecture, urban planning, architecture, and construction supervision, delivered to Dutch municipalities, enterprise real estate developers, and international clients. Its core expertise centers on climate-adaptive and nature-inclusive design, sustainable spatial planning, and the integration of landscape, urban planning, and architectural disciplines into a single studio offering.

The firm operates across a 100+ project portfolio spanning the Netherlands, China, South Korea, Benin, Georgia, Indonesia, and other countries. Notable engagements include large-scale Dutch residential developments (Tudorpark in Hoofddorp with 1,250 homes, De Blaricummermeent with 1,100 houses on 120 ha, Kersenweide with 1,200 homes), international luxury hospitality work (Sofitel Park in Cotonou, Yeosu Hotel in South Korea), and public space redevelopments (Varkensmarkt, Den Burg center). The firm has secured multiple industry awards, including the INT.design Platinum Award (2022), Stadsbouwprijs 2024, and SKG Publieksprijs 2024.

The business is co-founded and led by architects and urban designers Freek Loos and Martine van Vliet, supported by a team of approximately 19 professionals including landscape architects, urban designers, a 2D/3D specialist, and an office manager. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted, project-based fees that are not publicly disclosed. Distribution relies on direct enterprise engagement and repeat partnerships, most notably with BPD Gebiedsontwikkeling (a major Dutch developer) and UNStudio (an international architecture firm), which together have driven much of the firm's international and large-scale Dutch portfolio. Marketing is conducted primarily through portfolio visibility, industry publications, and award recognition rather than active digital campaigns.
