office philosophy
Buro Sant en Co was founded in 1990 by Monique de Vette and Edwin Santhagens. The office provides a full range of landscape architecture and urban design services, conceived and executed at the highest artistic level.
The company has been able to establish itself as a leading design practice in the Netherlands. We specialize in dealing with the fusing point of landscape architecture and urban design: the urban landscape.
Employing a team of skilled designers, each with a different specialization, the company is able to compete and take part in projects at every level, from masterplan to detailed design. The result is a large variety of realized projects such as: parks, campuses, squares, shopping areas, boulevards, gardens and estates.
Designing is the search for distinctive and sensitive solutions to individual problems. Taking into account the physical and social context is an important part of the working method of Sant en Co. Understanding the requirements of the Client is a key issue. Every place is unique and deserves a unique design solution!
The style of design is important. We aim to make innovative plans that have a certain beauty and artistic expression. Yet functionality and maintenance are just as important. We spent great effort on detailing and material choice. Functionality, simplicity and sustainability are keywords for our design approach.
