Architecture & Planning

We strive for a refined architecture with an eye for detail and context. By means of specific and clear interventions and a good sense of structure, detail and materiality, we aim to create unique and sustainable buildings for our clients. In this process we try to keep an open mind and curious attitude.Unknown Architects was founded in 2012 by Daan Vulkers and Keimpke Zigterman. Our first built work consists of carefully crafted small projects for private, creative and commercial clients: Pied-à-terre (2012), Décor (2012) and The Fragrance Store (2015). The Holiday House in the Dunes of Terschelling (2018) and Houthavens Penthouse interior (2018) are part of a series of larger private commissions that is currently being developed. At the same time Unknown Architects is working with fellow (landscape) architects on larger housing and public building projects that help shape the cities we live in. Our work has been widely published and was exhibited in the exhibition ‘Maatwerk / Massarbeit' in the Deutsches Architektur Museum in Frankfurt and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp. Unknown Architects has been nominated for the ARC18 Young Talent Award by De Architect in 2018 and won the Unfair Architect Award by Unfair Amsterdam in 2019. Besides our work in practice we have led a MSc 1 design studio at Delft University of Technology in the autumn semester of 2017-2018.
