Commissioning
The clear divide between designer and user disappears, giving way to a hybrid creative process. The client’s vision and identity must be evident in the final result.
Dialogue
In the new context, the client plays an active role in the design and construction process. The choices made during this journey determine the future use of the space. The desires and needs of the user must be visible in the outcome. That’s why client and designer—user and creator—engage in continuous dialogue, working together to develop the design. It’s a process of co-creation and cross-pollination.
In the new context,
designer and client
work together as partners.
Desires
Design and architecture are about ideas and desires: transforming an old farmhouse into a comfortable home, or building a house perfectly tailored to your needs. In the new context, mutual trust is crucial throughout the design and building process. Designer and client embark on the journey together, guided by insights that emerge along the way.
Public Space
For public space projects, De Nieuwe Context also emphasizes user input. Gathering feedback and listening to the ideas of local residents and users is essential for both the process and the final result. Active participation fosters a sense of ownership among future users. The designer structures and interprets this input, transforming it into a vision that meets the needs of the community.
