Museum M. is making its mark by orienting Read more…
Here is the first part of a two pronged project in Almere, the design of an exhibition space and an invitation to be one of the artists in the exhibition. Almere is a medium large city east of Amsterdam that typifies the engineering prowess of the Dutch: within 40 years Read more…
Just a little in-between project full of good will: a traveling expo of family portraits taken of refugees in the camps on the Greek island of Lesbos, famous for it’s dire conditions and hope-killing prospects. The exhibit showed in the main municipal library of Amsterdam on the Oosterdok. The dominant Read more…
In between all the hard work, we noticed that one of Todd’s Twitter posts had achieved more than 50,000 unique viewers and a lot of positive feedback. What a surprise. Somehow it had hit a chord among fans of Amsterdam history, and it is not hard to see why. The Read more…

With all the commotion around the opening of “Temporal Tower” we almost forgot that there was an Amsterdam tram (streetcar) of the GVB (Municipal Transport Company) about to roll out with our name on it. And sure enough, there she is. Dirk Bertels of Studio Louter and Todd van Hulzen Read more…
We can’t describe how giddy and proud we are of our new big baby, the impressive reconstruction of the historic Haringpakkerstoren (Herring Packers’ Tower). Of course our tower is not made of masonry and wood, but of scaffolding, mesh, and most importantly, light. 30 meters high (100 feet), the tower, Read more…
Here are some pictures of our tower project in the making. The first step was agreeing on a budget and a technical design, which we ploddingly accomplished with our world-class international scaffolder StageCo.
