Natrufied Architecture, founded in 2005 by Boris Zeisser and Anja Verdonk, is a Dutch architectural firm based in Bergen, Netherlands. The practice emerged from the former 24H Architecture, which Zeisser co-founded in 2001. Natrufied's design philosophy centers on integrating nature into architecture, emphasizing sustainability and biophilic design principles.
The firm has completed numerous projects across the Netherlands and internationally, ranging from residential homes to larger-scale developments. Notable works include the Bosvilla in Bergen, a house seamlessly integrated into its wooded surroundings, and the De Warren cooperative housing project in Amsterdam, featuring 36 energy-positive apartments.
Natrufied's approach often incorporates innovative use of materials, such as recycled wood and bamboo, and employs techniques like green roofs and energy-efficient systems. Their projects frequently showcase a harmonious blend of modern design with natural elements, as seen in the Mooijburg 12.06 Housing complex in Amsterdam, which utilizes cross-laminated timber construction and biobased facade materials.
The firm's portfolio extends beyond residential projects to include educational facilities, healthcare centers, and cultural spaces. With a team of international architects and designers, Natrufied remains committed to creating sustainable, nature-inspired architecture that responds sensitively to its environment and user needs.
