At Hellen van Rees we’re always working on several (research) projects that complement our design practice. These projects add extra value to our work because they are often formed by team/consortium members from different fields. Sharing insights, working together to solve problems in various fields is very enriching to our studio.
Feel free to contact us if you’d like to know more about the projects we’re involved in and/or would like to collaborate!
