Engineering

In 2009 I founded WorkShop IV to support artists, architects, and designers in the process from concept to construction. Over the years I’ve mainly focussed on non-conventional architecture and construction. Following, a small selection of services and reference projects is listed.

A more extensive overview of my engineering projects is available through the following link:
