MVRDV
Projects by MVRDV, the Rotterdam architecture and urban design firm, spanning housing, retail and mixed-use buildings.
MVRDV is an architecture and urban design practice founded in Rotterdam in 1993 by Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries. The firm is known for working with density, massing and landscape, often reshaping building volumes to create public space, gardens and varied residential types.
Work collected under this topic shows the practice applying those strategies at different scales, from carved housing blocks in European cities to retail flagships and the colour and facade treatment of whole districts. Members use the topic to discuss how the firm's massing and surface decisions shape street life and urban identity.
