Crafted Works. is an architects and design studio based in Amsterdam.

Our projects explore the relationship between the design and craft of building and making. Our ideas take cues from the existing and surrounding context, helping to develop unique designs that feel considered and related to their place.

We work on projects of varying scale – from individual buildings, both new and old, through to bespoke furniture and joinery pieces. We test and develop our ideas within our in-house workshop using traditional and modern fabrication techniques. We consider in detail the materials from which our designs will be made and how they will be put together.

We offer a full range of services to our clients including architectural, interior and bespoke furniture design and fabrication. We are also experienced with project and contract management, budgeting and advice during project construction.

Please get in touch to discuss your project in detail.
