Maquettes De Bund – BPD & Van Wijnen
We created ten detailed models of the Rotterdam residential building De Bund for BPD and Van Wijnen.

Each model showcases the architectural refinement of the building at a small scale.
The series is intended as a gift to the municipality of Rotterdam, as a token of appreciation for the collaboration.
The project combines modern 3D technology with artisanal finishing in a sustainable whole.

Hoensbroek Castle – History captured in a model
Commissioned by Submedia from Heerlen, we produced a detailed 3D-printed scale model of Hoensbroek Castle. Printed in a single color (light grey), the rich details of the castle—from towers to façade textures—stand out distinctly. The model is 26 cm tall and made from PLA. With its subdued hue and material, it exudes a subtle, almost architectural appearance that honors the castle’s historic character.
