Who we are

Superimpose Architecture is an award-winning international design practice with studios in the Netherlands and China. We create meaningful and sustainable spaces through architecture, master planning, interior, and exhibition design. Our work focuses on urban architecture and (interior) transformations, engaging with every layer of the existing context.

Guided by a powerful set of strategies, we look beyond what is asked to uncover what is truly needed. By merging creative thinking with real-world insight, we deliver bold design that distills complex challenges into simple and powerful solutions.

Our name, Superimpose, reflects how we design: by layering new ideas onto existing structures, communities, and histories. We work with contextual awareness and responsibility, always aiming to improve, protect, and sustain both natural and built environments. Transformation and reuse are central to our practice, as we believe that designing for the future begins with respecting what already exists.

Our name also reflects who we are. Founded in 2015 by three partners with different backgrounds, Superimpose operates as a collective of designers from diverse cultural and professional origins. We embrace the idea of layering not only in our designs but also in the way we work. Different voices, disciplines, and experiences overlap and strengthen one another. This mindset extends beyond our studio walls and shapes how we collaborate with clients, consultants, and stakeholders, ensuring that every project benefits from a rich synthesis of perspectives and results in a clear and cohesive vision.

Our completed work includes projects such as the Eurostar UK Terminal in Amsterdam, Interior transformation of the CiTG Faculty at Delft University of Technology, Vanke Sky City in Hangzhou, Micr-O, The Re-Veil, Y-Loft City, and the Well Living Lab in Beijing. Before establishing Superimpose, our partners gained experience at internationally recognized firms including Foster + Partners, and Mei Architects, contributing to several award-winning, globally renowned projects such as the Bloomberg and Amazon Headquarters in London.



Superimpose has received multiple international awards, including the Iconic Awards, the American Architecture Prize, and the DFA Design for Asia Awards, and was shortlisted as Dezeen Emerging Architect of the Year as well as by AD100 YOUNG among the top one hundred young architecture firms. Our work has been featured in publications such as Frame, Dezeen, ArchDaily, Architectural Digest, and Domus, and has been presented at institutions including Tsinghua University, Beijing Design Week, and the Dutch Embassy network worldwide.

Superimpose employs a bold and creative Dutch design approach hand-in-hand with a tactile and sensible Asian design philosophy. We don’t advocate any particular design style but rather focus on applying problem-solving strategies to find functional, sustainable, innovative, crisp, balanced, well-detailed and striking design solutions. We take pride in thinking along with our clients to improve or redefine the design brief. Over the years Superimpose Architecture has built a solid portfolio of projects, which together establish a proven track record for strategy-based design.Our name ‘Superimpose’ reflects our design methodology and office mentality.
