Spring Studio - interieurarchitecten

What Spring Studio - interieurarchitecten does

Spring Studio - interieurarchitecten is a privately held interior architecture and design firm founded in 2018 by Manon Westmeijer and Jasmijn Buijvoets, operating from the Suikerunie terrain in Groningen, the Netherlands. The firm specialises in sustainable interior design for public spaces, hospitality venues, museums, cultural institutions, educational facilities, and work environments, with a technical and creative emphasis on circular design, material reuse, and locally sourced biobased materials from the Northern Netherlands region. Core service offerings span concept development, spatial design, material specification, and execution oversight, delivered through direct B2B engagements with public and enterprise clients. Documented projects range in scale from 600m² (EM2 pop venue) to 5,000m² (NHL Stenden Groningen) and include cultural landmarks such as the Werelderfgoedcentrum Waddenzee, Kunstcentrum De Ploeg, and Smaakatelier De Graanrepubliek.

The firm's technology base is rooted in material science and craft rather than software: it co-develops proprietary circular and biobased materials with regional partner HuisVeendam, including bio-laminate from coastal grasses and fully circular textile tiles, and applies these in projects achieving 70-100% material reuse (e.g., NHL Stenden Leeuwarden library at 70%+ reuse; NHL Stenden Groningen at 100% reuse of materials and furniture). A recurring collaboration model with architecture firms (Dorte Mandrup/Team4, De Zwarte Hond, Onix, Claus en Kaan, Adema, De Unie Architecten) and an embedded local-makers network (Flock of Chairs, Studio Volop, Melle Koot, Jack Brandsma) forms the studio's production system. The firm's profile was elevated in 2025 by winning the Dezeen Awards 'Sustainable Interior of the Year' and the Archello Awards Cultural Interior of the Year public vote, both for the WEC project.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through quote-based, project-specific interior architecture commissions. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, with no intermediaries; clients are typically established institutions (government, education, cultural, hospitality) engaged for long-term collaborations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on custom project quotes. Marketing relies on Instagram, LinkedIn, an online project portfolio, and earned media in architectural and design publications (Dezeen, Archello, Architectenweb, Architectuur.nl, De Architect). The firm serves clients primarily across the Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe, and Overijssel provinces of the Netherlands and has not claimed a global operational footprint.
