Tim Kouthoofd is an architect and co-founder of Bygg Architecture & Design. He works at the intersection of architecture, making, politics and public life, with a strong belief that design should not stay on paper.

He is interested in the moment where different realities meet: the ambition of a client, the needs of future users, the limitations of a site, the possibilities of materials and the larger questions of climate, housing and society. Rather than smoothing over these tensions, Tim sees them as the starting point for meaningful design.

His background as a former member of the provincial parliament of Noord-Brabant gives him a sharp sense of how spatial decisions are connected to policy, responsibility and collective life. This perspective informs his work on public space, housing and circular architecture.

At Bygg, Tim combines strategic thinking with hands-on involvement. He moves easily from conversation to concept, from drawing to building, and from big questions to practical details.
