Value proposition

De Zwarte Hond is a design team for architecture, urban design & strategy operating from Groningen, Rotterdam, Cologne


De Zwarte Hond is a design bureau for architecture and urban design. We have offices in Groningen, Rotterdam and Cologne that employ about 120 professionals. We add quality to the built environment by combining urban design and architecture. We effectively assess what adds value and enhances the quality of life for people, the street, the neighbourhood, the city and the region. We are fully committed to our designs, and we also assume responsibility for their realisation. The end product must be just as ambitious and beautiful as the first proposals.
