Current
ir. Marco Vermeulen
oprichter, architect en stedenbouwkundige
Marco Vermeulen is trained as an architect and urban planner at Eindhoven University of Technology and founded his own design and research firm in Rotterdam in 1999. As a versatile generalist, he seeks synergy between challenges such as sustainable energy, circular economy, climate adaptation, regional identity, and food production. His studio is often involved in projects that connect climate change with spatial quality and architecture. He integrates contemporary issues at various scales into spatial design or an inspiring vision for the future.
As a critical team player, Marco quickly gets to the core of a project, identifies opportunities, and efficiently guides his team. He was the chief curator of the Landscape Biennale 2021 and presented his vision on plant-based materials during Dutch Design Week 2019 and in VPRO’s Tegenlicht broadcast 'Houtbouwers' (Wood Builders).

ir. Joyce Langezaal
architect en tentoonstellingsontwerper
Joyce Langezaal is trained as an architect at Eindhoven University of Technology. After her studies, she began her career as an exhibition designer at the Netherlands Architecture Institute (now known as Het Nieuwe Instituut), where she worked on numerous exhibitions from 1999 to 2010. Since 2012, Joyce has been associated with Studio Marco Vermeulen, where she develops substantive and spatial concepts.
She has been involved in projects such as ‘(Over)Leven in de Biesbosch’ at the Biesbosch MuseumEiland, ‘De Verborgen Vesting’ in Bergen op Zoom, the exhibition 'IABR_Droogte in de Delta', and the floating park and festival center of the Architecture Month in Rotterdam. Joyce excels at bringing together the right team for these types of projects and steering the energy of all parties in the right direction.

Irem Toumay Bsc.
architectonisch ontwerper
Irem graduated from TOBB University of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and is currently pursuing a part-time master’s in architecture at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. Irem’s connection to her European and Mediterranean roots fuels her passion for embracing cultural diversity. Personally and professionally, she is interested in sustainable, transcultural future scenarios. She dreams of creating social spaces that not only fit into their surroundings but are also adaptable to future challenges. For Irem, it is essential that architecture is not only visually appealing but also has a meaningful and positive impact on the environment and society.
She enjoys collaborating with like-minded teammates to develop innovative solutions, particularly by exploring biobased materials. Her strengths lie in creating 2D graphics and 3D modeling, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), allowing her to translate her vision into concrete designs.

Alexandra Kobeleva Msc
Landschapsontwerper
Alexandra is a landscape designer with a strong interest in the relationship between urban planning and the landscape. After completing her Bachelor's in Spatial Development at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, she obtained a Master's in Landscape Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. Between studies, she gained experience as a spatial designer. She moves effortlessly between different scales, from regional visions to neighborhood-level elaborations. Her driving force lies in design-based research and the development of future scenarios. The future fascinates her: how will we live, work, and reside tomorrow, how can we prepare our cities and landscapes for future challenges, and what will these living environments look like in the future? Climate adaptation, ecology, and social sustainability are key themes in this regard. In her work, she investigates how the identity and unique qualities of a place can be preserved and strengthened within future developments. By combining design and research, she explores new perspectives on complex spatial issues and translates these into inspiring and feasible visions of the future.

Sem Mous
stagiair architectuur
Sem is an architecture intern pursuing a Master's degree in Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences at Delft University of Technology. He approaches design assignments from a conceptual perspective, considering architecture, urban planning, and landscape design as a single entity. His interest lies in the spatial composition of buildings in interaction with the existing landscape, seeking harmony between intervention and context. Sem views architecture as a social field, in which design plays a role in creating high-quality spaces and promoting shared values. He enjoys working on multidisciplinary assignments and is guided by a curious and intuitive approach. During his internship at SMV, he immersed himself in projects that combine architectural and landscape elements.
