Studio Gers is an architectural firm based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, focusing on designing buildings, homes, and living spaces with distinctive character. Founded and led by Rotterdam native Erik Leusink, the studio approaches architecture with a strong sense of place and personal engagement, grounding its work in both respect for the city’s architectural history and a forward-looking vision.
The team includes architects such as Erik Leusink and Sefer Burhan. The practice distinguishes itself by engaging closely with clients to uncover their living requirements or ambitions, and translates these into highly individualized designs. Studio Gers’ portfolio covers a range of services, primarily for residential clients in Rotterdam and surrounding areas. These include renovations—such as upgrading existing properties by adding light and space, expanding into gardens with glass extensions, or constructing rooftop additions—alongside fully custom homes for self-build plots in neighbourhoods like Nesselande and Park 16Hoven.
Although quantitative data like the number of completed projects or the firm’s size is not publicly available, Studio Gers’ public project examples centre on private house renovations and tailor-made home designs. The studio’s work is consistently described as modern and personal, with careful attention to detail and the wishes of both private owners and the context of Rotterdam’s urban and suburban fabric. Studio Gers operates solely in the region and does not advertise large commercial or landmark projects, reflecting a focus on individual, residential, and small-scale architectural work.
