NIOGRAPHY

NIO architecten is a relatively small office, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The total office structure generally consists out of 8 people. Everyone in the office is educated and trained as an architect and is required to know all and to do everything; everyone in the office is an all rounder. Expertise is hired. Over the years we have established a network of experts of whom we can say it is a pleasure to work with.

NIO architecten is making `primary identities’, obstinate entities that brave themselves against the lukewarm tide of consensus. We design small-scale and large-scale utilitarian building, retail and leisure environments, complex residential buildings, civil projects such as tunnels and highways, commercial and private interiors.
NIO architecten has been founded on the first of January 2000 by Maurice NIO. In 2004 the company became a partnership, when Maurice Nio and Joan Almekinders became partners.
