EHA sublimely emphasizes the prominent status of the garage as the pivot point between cycling and walking by giving one of the concrete columns a swirling skirt as a base, elevating a garage space into a cathedral for the train travelling cyclist.

Ector Hoogstad has done an amazing job. The DIFFER building is transparent and looks beautiful. It has also become a place to do excellent research. Furthermore, it offers ample opportunities for people to meet and connect.
Enter Amsterdam was quite a challenging job, but when parties trust each other, work towards the same goal and make choices early, unique and smart results can be achieved.
EHA has an inherent drive to fully comprehend what the physicists in Delft are working on and what their future needs will be. Together we're building a top-notch research facility that is both aesthetically pleasing and future-proof.

The city of Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam share a long history in which science, urban planning and creativity take centre stage. That history started right here, in the University Quarter.
EHA demonstrates its expertise through its keen understanding of the operational needs of the building, and through the consistency and appropriateness of its choices on the basis of that understanding.
We had a warm and professional working relationship with EHA. And it's this relationship that lead to our wonderful and delightfully quirky school in Amsterdam North. It's truly us, thank you!
