Beyond Space firmly believes architectural thinking applies well beyond matters of space. Drawing from a range of interests, disciplines, and experiences, we seek to forge new connections to allow for the unexpected. We combine creative entrepreneurship with a solid grounding in our discipline of origin, and couple our unconventional ideas with intuitive design. We sit comfortably where art, architecture and product development meet, and mix buildings and spaces and objects.
Esther Bentvelsen graduated the Sandberg Institute in 2015 where she received a Master of Interior Architecture. She earned her professional chops working with Petra Blaisse before she joined Amsterdam architects Space Encounters, where she worked with partners Remi Versteeg & Stijn de Weerd. In July 2022, after graduating her second degree, master of Architecture from the Academie van Bouwkunst, she joined Beyond Space’s founders as the studio’s third partner. Esther enjoys seeking the boundaries of what is possible, regardless the scale of the project, be it in small scale material experiments, or developing new typologies for housing.
Remi Versteeg is equal parts architect and entrepreneur. He founded his first company back in 2002 (many were to follow) and obtained his degree in architecture from Delft University. In 2016, he co-founded office for architecture Space Encounters. In 2021, he co-founded Beyond Space together with Stijn de Weerd. Remi is driven to innovate and always seeks to combine diverse perspectives to forge new connections and lead him down roads less traveled.
Stijn de Weerd obtained his degree from the Amsterdam Academy for Architecture, after which he joined Anne Holtrop for two years. In 2016, he co-founded office for architecture Space Encounters. In 2021, he co-founded Beyond Space together with Remi Versteeg. Stijn is an intuitive designer that combines his knack for the unfamiliar and the unexpected with a desire to share his knowledge and discoveries alike, which he often does in lectures and teaching engagements both nationally and internationally.
