Taanbaas B.v.

What Taanbaas B.v. does

Taanbaas B.v. is a privately held Dutch architecture firm founded in 2015 by Peter Baas and headquartered in the Krachtcentrale building in Huizen, in the Gooi region of the Netherlands. The firm specializes in the transformation, repurposing and renovation of existing buildings, with a particular emphasis on monuments, historic structures and underutilized real estate such as churches, offices, warehouses, farms and industrial buildings. Its service portfolio spans transformation, repurposing, monument renovation, residential design, extensions, renovation, technical documentation, permit applications, construction supervision and interior architecture, plus a dedicated heritage-subsidy advisory service delivered in cooperation with the Rijksdienst voor Cultureel Erfgoed (Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency). Quantified outcomes cited in the firm's portfolio include reaching energy label A+ on the Wilhelminakapel monument, energy label A+++ on the Oosterwold newbuild and wooden house projects, and preserving 93% of the 1,344-segment Balamundi factory roof structure during disassembly.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built around architectural design and visualization: it uses 3D scanning to map existing structures, 3D models and sketches to communicate design intent, and virtual reality together with film walkthroughs to let clients navigate proposed designs before construction. These are standard CAD and visualization tools rather than proprietary AI systems. Taanbaas serves four primary customer segments — individual homeowners seeking renovation or extension, owners of historic and underutilized buildings requiring new purposes, monument owners needing conservation and sustainability upgrades, and post-war housing owners seeking modernization — alongside institutional and public-sector clients such as municipalities, churches and sports federations.

The business model is project-based professional services with customized, quote-driven pricing and free initial consultations; revenue is generated per engagement rather than through subscription, licensing or platform fees. Go-to-market is sales-led and regional, anchored by the firm's website, an active social presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and YouTube, and referrals generated from completed projects. The firm operates from a single headquarters in Huizen with a stated team of 1–10 people, has no disclosed external funding or parent company, and serves clients primarily across the Gooi region with selective projects in Amsterdam, Zeist, Breukelen, Almere and Leerdam.
