NEW GENERATIONS. SUMOFFICE

SUMoffice is a Rotterdam based practice that specializes in architecture and urbanism. The office was founded in 2011 by Robert-Jan de Kort and Sander van Schaik.

The practice is interested in the complexity and ambiguity of concrete reality, and likes to think of architecture as an opportunity to engage with this reality. At the core of its work lies an interest in not only the physical qualities but also the emotional potential of architecture.

They have recently won two contests, the Open Call 21.14 (along with Van Noten, 2011) and a competition of social housing in Berlaar, Belgium (2012).
