Toba architecten

What Toba architecten does

Toba architecten (legal entity Toba B.V.) is a privately held Dutch architecture firm founded in 1998 by Martijn Tromp and headquartered at Marktstraat 1 in Bodegraven, Zuid-Holland. The firm provides full-lifecycle architectural services spanning new construction (nieuwbouw), building transformation (transformatie), and renovation/restoration (renovatie en restauratie), with particular specialization in monumental and heritage buildings (rijksmonumenten, gemeentelijke monumenten). It serves a hybrid mix of private homeowners, housing associations and developers, healthcare organizations, commercial enterprises, and hospitality operators across Western Netherlands.

The firm's delivery is built on a Building Information Modeling (BIM) foundation with IFC-compliant model delivery, pointcloud laser scanning for existing-condition capture, VR visualization, 3D printing, and adherence to NL/Sfb standards via the Basis ILS partnership. Project information is managed through a client-facing PIMBIM portal. Service engagements run on the Dutch DNR 2011 standard contract terms administered under the BNA (Bond van Nederlandse Architecten) framework, of which Toba is an Erkend (recognized) member. The firm emphasizes sustainable design meeting BENG and NOM energy standards.

The business operates as a traditional professional services firm with 11 employees, project-based fees, direct client engagement, and word-of-mouth referral within the Dutch construction ecosystem. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm has no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds; Martijn Tromp remains the owner-operator and principal architect. Strategic activity in recent years has been operational (office relocation in May 2026 to a ground-floor client-accessible location) rather than expansionary, consistent with a mature, steady-state SME practice.
