Building is a collective effort: Breddels Architects

By 28 January 2026Uncategorized

A reliable partnership with a shared passion for wood and quality

The collaboration with Breddels Architects is characterised by reliability, craftsmanship, and short lines of communication. Both parties share a strong passion for wood and strive for high quality, sustainable solutions within the built environment. These shared values create a natural synergy in which design and material use reinforce one another. Breddels describes the collaboration as natural and purposeful, with the aesthetic concept aligning seamlessly with the technical possibilities of modified wood.

“Our collaboration feels like a natural synergy in which design and material reinforce one another.”

Wood expertise that strengthens and brings the design to life

What makes the collaboration with Leegwater Houtbereiding special for Breddels Architects is the combination of in depth wood expertise and the ability to actively contribute to the making process. In projects such as the new office building on Verlaat in Heerhugowaard, it became clear how the modified wood products not only contribute functionally, but also bring the design to life. Breddels experiences Leegwater as technically strong, flexible, and committed, a partner that approaches the material with the same dedication and attention as the architect itself.

More joint projects

Below, we highlight several completed collaborations with Breddels Architects in which our shared vision on wood, aesthetics, and sustainability takes centre stage.

Gouwe Residence, Hoogwoud

A compelling example of our collaboration with Breddels Architects is the residence on the Gouwe in Hoogwoud, where the choice of natural materials and modified wood in both the facade and interior enhances the building’s distinctive architecture.

Community school De Hoge Ven Warmenhuizen

In Warmenhuizen, we realised the Community School Hoge Ven together with Breddels Architects, where Western Red Cedar with a fire retardant treatment and transparent coating provides a natural appearance that fits the village character of the building.

Shared vision on sustainability and craftsmanship

The collaboration with Breddels is rooted in a shared vision of building: sustainable, transparent, and focused on the long term. Both organisations believe in creating buildings that fit their surroundings and endure through careful material selection. In projects such as the office building in Heerhugowaard, this vision is expressed through a harmonious interplay between design and wood processing. The result is architecture in which functionality, aesthetics, and material use reinforce one another.
