Arie van der Neut is a director of HDVN Architecten. HDVN was winner of the Architect of the Year 2010 in the Netherlands. HVDN creates sustainable buildings with a strong character: inspiring, self conscious and social. They are buildings that have the courage to take their place, but, at the same time, aim to advance social development. With a distinctive architecture that gives space interaction between people and between man and the environment, HVDN wants to contribute to the quality of life in the city.
HDVN is driven by a strong social and sustainability agenda, and in recent years has explored the use of prefabrication in creating sustainable infrastructure for projects including schools, nursing homes and student housing. What distinguishes HDVN is a number of recent projects which have achieved design-led architecture of a permanent quality and performance that also allow for future relocation.
