Space&Matter is an Amsterdam-based architecture and urban design studio known for its circular, social, and adaptive approach to building and area development. They combine experimentation with pragmatism, integrating architecture, urban planning, and strategic thinking to design for reuse, adaptability, and future resilience.
Their portfolio spans a variety of scales—from individual buildings to neighbourhoods—and includes projects that foreground sustainability, reuse of existing structures, participatory design, and strong community engagement. Some of their notable works are Schoonschip, a floating sustainable neighbourhood; SILO, with biobased materials and design for disassembly; and several circular housing and waterfront initiatives.
