Jan Peter Wingender, founding partner of Office Winhov, focuses his work on urban ensembles, residential buildings, civic and public programmes and the renovation and redevelopment of existing, often listed buildings. He designs buildings that last for long and considers buildings to be more than single objects; they are part of an environment and contribute to its development. Constantly interrogating the diverse and often complex relationships between a place and a building, the building typology, the application of materials and final use are pivotal to his work.

Jan Peter studied at Eindhoven University of Technology and the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam. He regularly lectures, writes on architecture and is a jurymember and guest lecturer at architecture schools in the Netherlands and abroad. From 2003 to 2007, Jan Peter headed the architecture department of the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. He was a lecturer at the Amsterdam University of the Arts and in 2016 published the book Brick, An Exacting Material. Jan Peter is a board member of the BNA, supervisor for the Pampusbuurt on Amsterdam IJburg and the Zuidasdok on Amsterdam Zuidas.
