B-bis
Architecten

“Back in 1997, Evert Crols, Dirk Engelen and Sven Grooten set up an independent office for architecture: B-architecten was born.
They had met during their education in Antwerp and Amsterdam. At the international oriented Berlage Institute, it became clear that Evert, Dirk and Sven shared a common interest for design.
10 years after the foundation of B-architecten, they started a new initiative together with Sebastiaan Leroy: B-bis architecten, an office that focuses on smaller projects, interiors and furniture design. Since then, B-architecten & B-bis have grown naturally into a team of about 50 people who all share an innovative view on a variety of projects: housing, public buildings, schools, offices, urban design, interior and scenography.
In 2017 B-architecten & B-bis transformed from a classical hierarchical business model with partners running the business on their own towards an organisation focused on self steering employees being heavily involved in the decision making. Today B is a close group of workers carrying a shared responsibility for the entire proces that is being delivered to internal or external clients.”
