Point Architectuur opens office in East Netherlands to contribute to sustainable construction
Point Architectuur BV, originating from Point AS in Norway, has recently established itself in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. The company creates architectural designs that integrate circular building materials, environmental awareness, and long-term value. Their holistic approach aligns well with the ambitions of the East Netherlands to accelerate sustainable construction and support future-proof living environments.
Why Apeldoorn fits
The decision to settle in Apeldoorn stems from a combination of strategic and environmental considerations. The city offers a central location that provides easy access to partners and clients across the country. At the same time, the natural surroundings and spacious setting match the company’s philosophy of designing with respect for the environment. This combination creates a strong foundation for their activities in the Netherlands.
Bart Burgerhoudt, architect/director of Point Architectuur BV: "The central location of Apeldoorn and natural surroundings create the right environment to contribute our experience in sustainable architecture and support the transition to more responsible building solutions."
Support from Oost NL and partners
Oost NL supported Point Architectuur throughout their establishment in the region. The team facilitated introductions to the municipality of Apeldoorn and local real estate partners, helping the company compare potential locations and choose a suitable base. Oost NL also connected Point Architectuur with service providers for setting up their Dutch business entity and with regional networks active in sustainable (residential) construction.
Janet de Rooy-Smid, advisor Tech, Energy at Oost NL guided this process in close collaboration with local partners: "Point Architectuur adds valuable knowledge about sustainable building practices. Their international perspective strengthens the regional ecosystem and supports our shared ambition to drive innovation in the built environment.”
Adding expertise to a growing ecosystem
The Netherlands faces a clear need for more sustainable housing solutions. Point Architectuur brings experience with circular materials and environmentally conscious design, adding relevant expertise to the regional construction ecosystem. Their background in the Norwegian market enables them to contribute insights that support innovation across the sector.
