After training at the Royal Art Academy in The Hague in 2002, Jeroen de Nijs began designing furniture independently. Jeroen took on made-to-measure projects and private assignments. Over time, the business grew into designing complete interiors of residents and retail. Within the last few years there have been assignments for designing buildings. It has developed in this way, as he says in his own words, because; “As an interior-architect I have a strong sense of space and atmosphere. My vision is that the exterior of the building is always designed from the use and experience of the interior. The functions of the various rooms and the natural light ultimately determine how a building will look from the outside.” Jeroen de Nijs comes from a family construction business that was handed down from father to son for generations. The expectation was that Jeroen would take over the family business but after a few years working in construction he realized that his creativity was more satisfying. However, his experience in the construction world now appears to play an important role in his career as a designer of buildings and interiors.
