THE OFFICE

Office Winhov comprises a team of 30. We work with clients and partners on new construction and the reuse of existing buildings and listed heritage. Our craftsmanship lies in the combination of the artistic, the technical and the professional, in which personal engagement and the ongoing quest for quality and sustainability are paramount. We believe that architecture is more than just realizing buildings. It is a collective and constantly evolving field. Our voice is heard through architectural education and research, and by participating in committees, juries, and editorial boards. We are also the initiators of the platform 'Local Heroes' and the architecture lecture series 'Design-by-thinking-of'. In this way, we connect locally and internationally with the breadth of the profession and our peers.

PARTNERS

Uri Gilad, co-founder, and partner at Office Winhov, focuses on the renovation and extension of buildings of special historical significance, sustainable housing, and multifunctional projects at the intersection between hospitality, culture, and commerce. Developed with a careful understanding of context and an interest in material presence, his work incorporates the environmental, social, and cultural dimensions related to architecture and city planning. Uri is directly involved with the office projects and responsible for the communication with clients. Uri graduated from the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture where he obtained his Master’s ‘Cum Laude’ under Prof. Herman Hertzberger. And now, Uri teaches at the same institution while also regularly giving lectures worldwide on his work and vision. In 2016 he was nominated as a young architect for the Abe Bonnema Prijs and in the same year received the ARC16 Oeuvre Award for the work of Office Winhov. From 2021, Uri holds the position of architect member of Committee 1 (city center) of Amsterdam’s Spatial Quality Committee and is the editor of the yearbook Architecture in the Netherlands.

Inez Tan, architect and partner at Office Winhov, specializes in the renovation and adaptive reuse of existing buildings, with a focus on the intersection between architecture and the spatial and social contexts of urban environments. Her work spans public buildings and offices in combination with retail and housing. According to Inez, thorough research within a dynamic context is essential to ensure the relevance of the project. She is also a co-editor for the writers’ platform Local Heroes. Inez studied at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm and graduated from Delft University of Technology in 2016. She gained international experience at Go Hasegawa & Associates in Tokyo and Bureau van Eig in Rotterdam before joining Office Winhov in 2016. In 2022, she received the prestigious ARC22 Award for her work on Leiden City Hall, and in 2023, she was named Architect of the Year for Office Winhov’s contributions. Inez has also been a lecturer at the Maastricht Academy of Architecture. This year, she has been nominated for both the Arie Keppler Prize 2024 and the ARC24 Interior Award for her work on the National Holocaust Museum.

Jan Peter Wingender, co-founder and partner at Office Winhov, focuses in his work on the development of complex urban ensembles, residential as well as civic buildings and the renovation and extension of buildings of special historical significance. He designs buildings that endure and believes buildings to be more than individual objects but rather part of the urban environment which they in turn also shape. Exploring the diverse and often complex relations between place, building typology, the use of material and the function proves pivotal to his work. Jan Peter is directly involved with the office projects in the Netherlands and Switzerland and liable for the communication with the clients. Jan Peter studied at Eindhoven University of Technology and the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam. He regularly lectures, writes about architecture and is a guest lecturer at architecture schools within the Netherlands and abroad. From 2003 to 2007, he was head of the architecture program at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture. He was lecturer at the Amsterdam University of Applied Arts and published the book Brick, An Exacting Material in 2016. Jan Peter was appointed supervisor of the Pampusbuurt on Amsterdam IJburg in 2023.
