In this book, an inspiring combination of architecture and design,
Dutch architect Bob Manders demonstrates how diverse tastes and
preferences can harmoniously work together within a particular style or
concept. Using nature's infinite variety as his inspiration, he creates
structures that can't be easily categorised, and strongly reflect the
individuality of his clients. He combines insight into architectural
principles of the past with a passion for innovation, considering light
and its impact, context, flexibility and versatility. His innovative
treatment of space draws on his Dutch heritage, with a respect for light
and shadow that acknowledges the connection between the inside and the
outside. His designs feature open, fresh and white spaces, but also
rooms that are warm, dark and cozy. He addresses the challenge of using
all the senses when it comes to architecture, with minimalist designs
which sublimely blend the traditional and the modern.
