ABOUT
Atelier
Founded by Renske Maria van Dam, Spacious is initated as an atelier for the integration between academic research and creative practice. We engage in spatial projects, research, and programs to both contribute to global architectural discourse, as well as to ground the practice in the built environment through site-specific interventions.

SPACIOUS PORTFOLIO
Experience
Projects
The atelier's main interest lies in the creation of dynamic environments, for example spatial and performative installations, pavilions, playgrounds, unique living or working environments, and participatory public spaces. We closely collaborate with our clients, the local community, and the weather to let unique interventions emerge in correspondence with the dynamics of the project site.

Research
Our research intersects the field of architecture with insights and methods from cognitive and contemplative sciences as well as from other visual and performative arts. This creative approach to scholarship generates both peer-reviewed publications and non-traditional research output such as visual essays and exhibitions.
Engage
Programs
In collaboration with NGO’s, cultural and educational institutes, we initiate engaging programs among which lecture series, residencies, and architectural pedagogy. This aspect of our atelier allows us to be in conversation with and inspire the emerging field of transformative spatial practices, specifically slow, feminist, and post-western viewpoints.

At heart our practice is inspired by dedicated research to the Japanese spatial practice of 間 [Ma]. Roughly translated as gap or in-between space, 間 [Ma] informs a performative and relational approach to the built environment. In 2021 the Amsterdam-based curatorial platform Slow Research Lab invited us to set intentions for a 間 [Ma]-inspired atelier. Read more about our early intuitions for a spacious practice in the Slow Spatial Reader.

ABOUT
Spacious
We advocate a plural practice guided by attuned architects who deeply listen, move, and breathe with their surroundings.
This performative and relational approach to the built environment allows us to work beyond the boundaries of the design studio to set our own precedents.
At the crossroad between academia and the creative industries, we engage in spatial projects, research, and programs.
