Broad incumbents

• MVRDV: Major Dutch architecture firm with public and cultural-sector projects. Operates at a much larger scale and broader typology than VB, but competes for high-profile Dutch public and cultural commissions.
• Mecanoo: Large established Dutch architecture practice with a portfolio spanning cultural, educational, and public buildings, including heritage-led work. Much broader scope and larger scale than VB, but overlaps in museum and cultural-sector commissions.
• Benthem Crouwel Architects: Established Dutch architecture firm with cultural, public, and heritage-adjacent projects. Comparable in Dutch institutional client base, but with a broader portfolio and significantly larger scale than VB.

Others

• Kossmanndejong: Dutch exhibition and museum design firm that has worked with VB on Museum van de Geest. Comparable as an ecosystem partner in the cultural-heritage project delivery chain rather than a competitor, given the different core service (exhibition design vs. architecture).
