About us

Passion. I think I didn't choose the architecture profession. The profession chose me. In my youth I was always creating: making drawings, building furniture, improvising music with my friends. When I had to choose I remember visiting the model making room at a Dutch university (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven). "This is it!" I thought and before I knew it, I was studying architecture, travelling the world to visit buildings.

Commitment. My parents taught me to treat other people the way I want to be treated. That means collaboration out of respect, going for the best idea instead of taking the idea of "the boss" for granted, having fun while working hard and getting results. That is how I am in private, with my family and how we organize our office.

Surprise. During a two year trip around the world for the work of my father, at age nine I travelled with my family through the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. I discovered that there is not one ultimate answer to how you should live. With this attitude I also approach life and projects. Asking why and trying to look beyond the obvious. That is what makes it all worth for me.

I grew up in Germany and studied there, in a pleasant region characterized by viticulture. My choice for architecture was made before I even knew it, because my parents had a sculpture and stonemasonry and there was always something being built or refurbished at the Rörig residence.

The first 13 years of my career as an architect I have worked in an office where I have learned to appreciate that architecture forms/models/ a city and that the quality of the execution/detailing is a key factor in the experience of public space. Since 2014 I am now working for and with Liong Lie and realize a dream of mine Which I had when I was a student: designing houses. In my spare time I’m a mother of two small children with a big passion for cooking and baking.

My slogan is: Building is what you do together. Which dream can I realize together with you?

Being an architect is the right choice for me. A choice that led me to leave my country and pursue a new life in one of the most modern cities in Europe from an architectural point of view: Rotterdam.  
Thinking back, I realize that I became an architect by accident. Unlike many, I didn't feel a particular passion, but during my study at university it started to grow quickly. Over the years, I realized that I had always been interested in architecture in the past: I have built models, drew building perspectives and saw my own house being built step by step, even if I only vaguely remember it today.  

I chose to be part of the Liong Lie architects team because it is the studio that most represents architecture for me: modern and luxurious projects, born from a minimalist form, big gestures and strong concepts. Architecture that satisfies our customers every day, by improving their quality of life and the quality of their surroundings. For us, every new project is a new challenge that allows us to grow professionally. On a more personal level, discovering the smile of our clients for having built the villa of their dreams, is the greatest satisfaction of all.  

For me the steps to follow in a new project are these three: design a modern villa with passion, exceed the clients expectations and first of all have fun!

Art has developed in me since childhood: drawing, music, ballet, theatre, painting, and finally architecture. When the time came to choose a career path, I knew that architecture would be the right fit for me. This has become my profession since it combines technical skills and a high degree of creativity. 

From the beginning of my studies, I wanted to develop my vision and thinking about architecture not only from lectures and books but from traveling. This led me to Italy where I spent a year in the company of world-class architects who taught me to think creatively and to let my imagination run wild when designing. The opposite happened when I went to Germany where technical skills and attention to detail were at the forefront. This combination of different perspectives shaped my outlook on architecture and my desire to learn more. It led me to Rotterdam where urban planning, architecture, and the progressive development of the city are inviting in their uniqueness. 

High-end projects, surprising solutions, and customer satisfaction are what we do professionally.  I value being part of 123DV, for its luxury villas and interiors.
We are working in a close-knit team full of ambition to take on new projects. 
Perhaps the next one will be Yours?

Apart from architecture and design, I'm also passionate about people.
I'm a natural watch dog for authenticity: safeguarding it in our designs, but also recognizing it in people. I have a background in art, graphic design and webdesign but I am married to architecture.

Unrestrained by having to deal with the laws of gravity as an architect, I judge architecture by its sole ability to embrace the dreams and diversity of human beings and therefore improving people's quality of life.
I am the quiet force behind 123DV / Liong Lie Architects. I have a strong visual design instinct and a hawk eye for detail that pushes our work further.
