Raymond van Sabben
Partner / Architect
'I love it when many different interests are at play. At Paul de Ruiter Architects, we always manage to combine those interests into clear and powerful building projects with a distinct signature.'
After completing my Master’s degrees in Architecture and Building Technology at TU Delft, I worked at Wiel Arets Architects, Cepezed, and Hootsmans Architectuurbureau. I also taught for a while at TU Delft and the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture. At Paul de Ruiter Architects, I specialize in complex large-scale projects. I’m involved in the projects from the tender and procurement phase all the way through to execution. The more challenging, the better—I enjoy it when many different interests are at stake. At this firm, we always succeed in combining those into clear and strong architectural projects with a recognizable identity. That’s something I see as a real strength. I have a broad interest in both the procedural side of projects and in technology and architecture itself. I find that diversity here. We have a highly varied portfolio that covers all phases of a project—always guided by a clear and sustainable vision that starts with creating something beautiful and functional at the same time. That way, a building becomes valuable to its surroundings and encourages people to treat it with care.
