The office was established after winning Europan 3, Den Bosch, 1994. Various projects have been worked on since that time. These projects vary from the design of a table to the design of a temporary bicycle storage, and from the complete modification of an existing house to the design of large, complex public buildings, hospitals, offices and schools.
Evaluation of realised projects and Vision on sustainability:
VMX Architects consists of two partners: Don Murphy and Leon Teunissen. Don Murphy was one of the first graduates of the Berlage Institute. He is responsible for the architectural position of the office. Leon Teunissen graduated at TU Delft in both Architecture and Building Management. He is responsible for the management of projects and the office as a whole.
At this moment the office is consciously limited to 15 employees and a number of trainees. This enables the partners to give optimum attention to all projects. Employees of the office are both Dutch and non-Dutch. The differences in culture, education and technical experience is used to question and research Dutch building traditions. Apart from the secretary, all employees are highly trained architects and technicians.
VMX has formed a team that can handle the complete design process. The sub-commissioning of so called standard architectural jobs does not take place.
In principal all aspects of the commission are executed by the office itself. This approach can be recognised as effective in the realised projects of VMX.
Projects are executed by a specially created team within the office. Next to Don Murphy and Leon Teunissen each team consists of at least two full time employees experienced in design and execution on all levels.
From the start of each project VMX works intensively with external advisors. The goal of VMX is to find new architectural solutions while also meeting the wishes of all parties involved.
