We transform and revitalise
locations to create
lasting value
We design insightful and new ways for living, learning, working
BurtonHamfelt Urban Architecture is an Amsterdam -based, design-driven practice working at the inter-section of architecture, urban design, and landscape.
We explore new models for living, learning, and working in the contemporary city, where climate adaptation, circularity, and social value must be embedded from the first sketch to delivery.
Our work combines conceptual clarity and imagination with technical precision to create projects that are visionary yet buildable, and ambitious yet grounded in everyday life.
We create healthy, livable urban environments for people
We specialise in high-density mixed-use housing, educational and campus environments, and resilient urban planning concepts.
The studio has a strong track record in transforming complex or overlooked sites turning conflicting conditions into coherent, people-centred places with a robust public realm.
We unlock the full potential of every project with care for the context
Each project begins with deep contextual research and evolves through a strategic, collaborative design process that aligns public value with development feasibility.
Across these scales, we develop clear spatial frameworks, that maximise both development potential while creating active plinths and streets, and adaptable typologies that support community and long-term change.
We listen, challenge and collaborate before we design
We place the client’s ambition and the city’s collective interests at the centre of our work, collaborating closely with municipalities, developers, and future residents to deliver inclusive, climate-ready projects.
We combine creativity, technical precision, and curiosity to explore how design can respond intelligently to the challenges of the contemporary city.
