Interior Architecture
When Marijne started working as a Junior Interior Architect she quickly became aware that most design firms solely focussed on creating beauty, often replicating designs for various projects to save time.This drove her to start her own company a few years later, where she began to research the human connection to architecture & design. By virtue of researching scientific papers, books and works of fellow architects she has been able to produce work that is tailored to her clients and their specific needs. Marijne joined Instil Collective to work alongside likeminded talented creatives / researchers from a range of industries. This in turn expands and challenges her personal knowledge and viewpoints.Marijne’s role at Instil is defined by her Interior Architecture background.
