Summary
Renzo Westerbeek is an architect and researcher with 12 years of cross-disciplinary experience, blending architectural design, urban research and hands-on project delivery across the Netherlands, Italy and the UK. After an MArch from TU Delft and study exchange at Politecnico di Milano, he has contributed to competition work at DRDH in London and now focuses on making Dutch housing more sustainable through Creative City Solutions’ "optoppen" strategies. Equally comfortable producing detailed construction drawings as a freelance bouwkundige and developing web and media projects earlier in his career, he bridges design, technical execution and communication. His work emphasizes retrofit and densification of the existing city fabric, paired with pragmatic product development for building sustainability. Based in Amsterdam, he brings a research-led approach to practical interventions, often reframing small infill projects to unlock larger urban potential. As a (software) architect by interest as well, he combines systems thinking with spatial expertise to deliver feasible, buildable solutions.
