Adriaan Mout

Adriaan Mout became a partner at LEVS architects in 2005 to shape the bureau’s growing profile and new visions. After studying at TU Delft, he learned the profession at a small firm. He then worked for fifteen years at Architecten Cie. During that time, as project architect, he realised various internationally acclaimed projects. In all these projects, the relationship between building typology, architecture, urban planning and landscape played a decisive role. At LEVS, this development has been continued and broadened to complex urban challenges and integration with the landscape.

For Adriaan, architecture is alpha, beta and gamma. A profession in which everything comes together. In cities, people want peace and space, but also dynamism and tension. Adriaan’s challenge is to develop a vision for every assignment that ensures a place can emerge where everyone feels at home. This is clearly reflected in, among others, the urban ensemble De Caai in Eindhoven and the urban renewal of Omloop. Area development and densification in and near city centres play an increasingly important role in this, such as in Schalkstad HIGH5 in Haarlem and The Blox in The Hague.

In addition, he is involved with the BNA, and in the past with the working groups European Public Procurement and BIM. Adriaan has published several times in the magazine FORUM and wrote a monthly column for Cobouw.
