STUDIO CANISIUS DEGENAAR

We have a strong fascination for the question how it is possible that some old buildings could remain in use for centuries. To be well equipped for today's sustainable tasks, insight into this area is necessary. It has to do with the flexibility of the plan, the properties of the materials used, the location but for sure also with beauty.
