Dam & Partners Architecten is an Amsterdam-based architectural firm, founded in 1962 by Cees Dam, later accompanied by his son Diederik Dam. They complement each other: the father is the artist, the dreamer, the son keeps the overview, is more practical. The firm comprises an international team of 35 creative professionals, committed to creating architecture of the highest quality, marked by site-specific plans that combine traditional craftsmanship with the newest technologies. The firm has a studio culture, which encourages employees to develop to their full potential not only in the architectural field but also in related disciplines (art, music, fashion), and social and economic aspects. This openness contributes to the firm’s unique way of combining a professional orientation with a high degree of creativity and the widest possible latitude for research, analysis and concept development.
