Founding partners
In 2011, when money was scarcer than time and attention, Rudolph Eilander and Michiel Raaphorst decided to set up a new firm. They wanted to be able to add value to a range of clients and projects with their courage, inventiveness and service. Where energy and inspiration are just as important to receive as to give.
It is DNA, this fundamental attitude, that makes our partnership unique and successful. Both for ourselves, our team, and for all of the people we are able to work with.

Michiel Raaphorst & Rudolph Eilander
Rudolph looks for maximum value in a pragmatic way. He is an architect who dares to highlight the unidentified ambitions of a project.
Team
V8 Architects is made up of a team of highly qualified and motivated architects and designers. Through dialogue with consultants and the client, we devise solutions for new and existing buildings. Powerful interventions that are put together in a well-considered manner, and which make a valuable contribution to the surroundings and users.
