HOFMAN DUJARDIN

The inspired work of Dutch husband and wife architects and designers Michiel Hofman and Barbara Dujardin and their team extends to corporate headquarters buildings, product design (including a groundbreaking new type of window), ministerial offices, schools, hotels ships, oil rigs and more. Their creative ambit and reputation covers the entire globe.

Their work has a consummate beauty, informed by simplicity and artful attention, guided by a consciously tapped intuition and a profound and deeply considered architectural philosophy and world view .

They are nothing less than genius polymaths whose success if founded to a great degree on their conscious and willful development and manifestation of their creative abilities. They are a once fascinating, inspiring, inquisitive, hugely empathetic and open to new ideas. There's something at once joyful and inordinately wise in the Hofman Dujardin approach.

Everything that they do emanates from a fulcrum where practicality meets playfulness. There's a joyful simplicity and truthfulness to their work which is guided very consciously by precepts that consciously emphasize specific qualities of spaciousness, groundedness, expression and connection. They always seeks the highest degree clarity, quality, personality and inspiration as the arbiters of their creative endeavours. The results speak for themselves.

In terms of what this delivers architecturally speaking, one can say that their work is at once minimalist and yet intensively decorative and full of playful vibrancy . It seems to ooze contentedness.

The team has never before produced a Mediterranean villa. The sheer prettiness and joie de vivre that so characterizes their output augers for quite a result and we very much look forward to working with them on the project.
