NieuwBlauw stedenbouw en landschap

What NieuwBlauw stedenbouw en landschap does

NieuwBlauw B.V. is a Dutch urban planning (stedenbouw) and landscape architecture (landschap) consultancy headquartered in Zaltbommel, Netherlands, with a correspondence office in Eindhoven and a planned relocation to Rosmalen in mid-2027. Founded by Peter Oomen and currently led by four partners (Oomen, Ingmar Bisschop, Sander Klein Obbink, and Lianne van Doesburg), the firm operates with a team of approximately 10 members and positions itself across three integrated roles: ontwerper (designer), verbinder (connector), and verbeelder (visualizer). Its service portfolio spans strategic area visions, masterplans, urban planning schemes, verkavelingsplannen (plot division plans), beeldkwaliteitplannen (image quality plans), inrichtingsplannen openbare ruimte (public space design), and beeldverhalen (visual storytelling), delivered at scales ranging from neighbourhood plots to regional landscapes.

The firm's technical approach relies on standard professional design tooling — Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD, QGIS, and SketchUp — combined with hand-drawn visualisations and a proprietary participatory design methodology (omgevingsdialoog) supported by digital platforms such as Maptionnaire. Projects routinely integrate climate adaptation, biodiversity enhancement, and circular-economy principles. Past collaborations include engagements with West 8 (Groene Corridor Oirschot), Sweco (Westfields Oirschot), and The Natural Step/B-Invented/MijnWaterfabriek/TU Eindhoven (De Heerlijkheid Bosrijk tender), and an international competition entry for Trencin, Slovakia.

NieuwBlauw generates revenue through fee-for-service professional design commissions, acquired primarily via competitive public tenders issued by Dutch municipalities and provinces and direct commissions from housing corporations (Woonmeij, Woonlinie) and private developers (Bouwers met Visie, Henselmans, Van Wanrooij, Hendriks Coppelmans, Van Grunsven). Pricing is non-public and negotiated per project under the CAO voor Architectenbureaus labour framework. The firm has no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds, operating as a partner-owned Dutch B.V.
