“My focus is on creating more sustainable and better living environments with fewer ecological and economic resources.”

Introduction

I am Jaap Wiedenhoff. With over 20 years of experience, I lead multidisciplinary design teams and strategically advise clients on the optimal use of technology to achieve social and economic goals. My career began in 1990 as a designer of technical installations and an advisor to clients.

What I do at ABT

At ABT, my passion lies in design as a method to develop new, more effective solutions. I lead integrated design teams for ambitious clients, specializing in buildings, infrastructure, and urban planning. My focus is on creating more sustainable and better living environments with fewer ecological and economic resources. Since 2014, I have been active as a lead consultant and also lead activities in market development.

My dream for the future

My future dream is to continue striving for innovative solutions at all scales with inspiring teams and clients. I want to contribute to creating more sustainable, comfortable, user-friendly, healthier, and more productive living environments. At ABT, I find the craftsmanship and love for the craft necessary to perfect every detail, and I hope to further realize this ambition in my role as a senior advisor and leader of integrated design teams.

Amsterdam Court

The new court in Amsterdam merges three worlds, which at the same time are to operate strictly separated: the judiciary, the detainees and the visitors. As partner of consortium NACH (New Amsterdam Court House), ABT signed on to design, build, finance, maintain and operate this imposing building on Parnassusweg in Amsterdam. It takes partnership to build an icon!

Schiphol Terminal

In 2017, Schiphol presented the question of what a new terminal, fully integrated into the existing airport, could look like. The 'One Terminal concept' was the central idea; the airport not as a collection of more or less stand-alone terminals, but as a compact unit housing all facilities under one roof. The design is to contribute to a good travel experience, an excellent travel process, sustainability and is future-proof.
