Derek Molenaar

Derek has almost ten years of experience as an architect and designer, leading a wide range of projects of different scope, size, and complexity. His passion is working closely with clients to convert their aspirations into tangible, achievable plans that align an organization’s mission with their facility’s design. He believes that every project should be driven by a set of big ideas that lead to a human-centered solution with intuitive organization, engaged users, and inspirational experiences.

“We design for a lot of table stakes – program, performance, inclusion, access, climate, budget, and many more," says Derek.  "However all architecture is for human beings, and architecture should never ignore its potential to make someone feel something in response.”
