What atelier PRO does

atelier PRO is a privately held architecture firm headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, founded in 1976 and operating under the legal name ATELIER PRO ARCHITEKTEN. With a team of 40 architects, designers, and technical specialists, the firm delivers full-service architectural design—from schematic design through construction administration—across healthcare, education, residential, cultural, and government sectors in the Netherlands and select European markets (notably Luxembourg). Its core capabilities span architectural design, interior design, urban planning, renovation and restoration of historic buildings, sustainable and circular design consulting, and Beeldkwaliteitsplan (visual quality plans) for healthcare facilities.

The firm's technical foundation rests on Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Revit, augmented by parametric design scripts that optimize workflow efficiency and design precision. Its sustainability practice, in place since 1978, emphasizes circular design principles, low-carbon materials (such as low-carbon glass with maximum recycled content), and biobased construction methods, producing measurable outcomes including a 40% CO2 reduction and 25% improvement over new-build sustainability benchmarks on the RDC ADORE project. Atelier PRO operates under BNA-recognized industry standards (DNR 2011) and holds the BNA Erkend Bureau certification.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on multi-year architectural commissions secured via competitive tenders, design competitions, and direct institutional engagements. Clients include Dutch healthcare providers (Amsterdam UMC, UMCG, Meander Medisch Centrum, Stichting Eijkman Kliniek), educational institutions (International School Delft, Berlage Lyceum, Rudolf Steiner College, Campus Scolaire Millermoaler), corporate enterprises (EDGE, NS), and government bodies (Gemeente Deventer). Distribution is direct, with no channel intermediaries, supported by a website portfolio, LinkedIn/Instagram presence, industry event participation, and thought-leadership contributions from Director Dorte Kristensen on circular and sustainable construction.
