​Every property, from a tiny apartment to a large building, has its own potential to transform into a contemporary, functional and appealing accommodation. In some cases a few subtle adjustments can be sufficient, other projects need a more fundamental approach. Depending on the objective, the budget and the use of the property, various creative solutions are desired. 

I can find surprising alternatives and improvements to expose the quality and character of a property.  Besides the revitalizing of existing buildings I can also translate dreams and wishes, big and small, within the constrains of a location into an appealing new built house. It's very satisfying to complete a project by furnishing and decorating in multi various styles.

For 20 years I have worked together with my partner in our architecture firm Villasophie before I set up my own firm Atelier-Do. I have created numerous villas, interiors, renovations, residential buildings and resort layouts during these years so I have a vast experience in architectural design. 
​
From 2009 until 2020 I lived in the south of France, Since November 2020 I'm back in the Netherlands. 
​I speak French, English and my native language is Dutch.
