Ad Kil – Timber as an integral part of regenerative architecture

After finishing TU Delft Ad started his own architect’s office in Utrecht in 1993. With mixed succes he worked on several nice, but not very memorable projects. After moving to the south-west of The Netherlands he started to work together with Ro Koster and they started the office RO&AD Architecten. The office started to flourish after 2004 when they started to concentrate on sustainable design. After finishing the Moses Bridge in 2010, which was broadly published, the connection between building and landscape became a common thread in the commissions of the office, and from there, the interest in regenerative design and system design grew. Nowadays the small team of RO&AD works on several projects on all scales: from a strategic vision on sea level rise in Zeeland, several buildings in the former Hedwigepolder in Zeeland, to a bridge in Norway.
