Graphic design 05/2018 identity, logo, re-branding, artwork link: https://soundcloud.com/lancedonny
Re-branding Lance & Donny for the DJ duo Lance & Donny i was asked to re-brand their corporate identity, for the upcoming summer season. main task was to re-design their existing logo with their characteristic bunny, to give them a new and fresh appearance for the season to come. adding a new color to the logo gives it a new appeal and by keeping the logo minimal, it fits the music style Lance & Donny represent and this way the logo can easily be incorporated in artwork and posters for all their events.

Architectuur MAKEN 06/2018 entry for the transformation and extension of trade school ‘Nimeto’ Utrecht, the Nethrelands Vakschool Nimeto link: http://architectuurmaken.nl/projecten/vakschool-nimeto/
Transformation Nimeto Nimeto is a trade school with a hands-on approach for creative young people, and the building is a reflection of exactly that. in this proposal, through efficient use of the current structure of the building, the desired program can be organized within the existing skin so that additional volumes can be kept to a minimum. as a freelance designer i aided the small design team in the final stages of this project, finetuning the conceptual ideas, thinking about how to represent these and producing final graphics for presentation. activities: - assisting in the design process - ideas on graphical presentation - visualisations (mainly Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign)

Groosman 03/2018 winning entry for a series of apartments and villas located in the dunes around Monster Monster, the Netherlands Monster link: http://groosman.com/
Living in the dunes winning entry of Groosman for the competition for 240 dwellings in a unique landscape; the rural dune landscape nearby the sea at Monster. next to the extensive landscape design, main idea is to respect the quality of the location and not to fill it with housing blocks. literally interweaving the dwellings with the dunes, only half of the program is visible whereas parking facilities and parts of the program are situated beneath parts of the dunes. together with a flexible facade system, different types of outdoor spaces and co-creation with future inhabitants, a diverse and playful project was proposed.
activities: - assisting in the design process - physical model (see above) - (axonometric) concept schemes - visualisations (mainly Photoshop) project: - location: Monster, the Netherlands - landscape, residential - winning competition entry - 240 luxury apartments & dwellings
1. figures: 1. axo showing ‘hidden’ part of program under the dunes and top part with a flexible facade system 2. three different outdoor spaces; private and semi-private 3. co-creation determines the size of the dwelling and facade which will result in a diverse ensemble of the same architecture family

Menis Architects 10/2014 proposal for three private villas; water villa, hill villa and tree villa Lijiang, China Three villas, Lijiang, China link: http://menis.es/three-villas/
Three villas in Lijiang, China in the design process for three private villas in the town of Lijiang, China, three distinct concepts were developed. the water villa as a private home, the hill villa as a private club and the tree villa as a guest house. the private home, the club and the guest house all gained a luxurious atmosphere with three distinctive characters. the project was published and presented by two books; the black book conveying the atmosphere of the entire project from concept development to interior - and product design, and the white book, containing the project explanation and all technical drawings and details. as part of the design team I mostly worked on the water villa and was in charge of editing the two books for publication and presentation. activities: - concept development - producing technical drawings - atmospheric plans and sections - visualisations (mainly Photoshop) - editing books for presentation

PHOTOGRAPHY 2011- 2018 landscapes, nature, architecture, black and white link: http://tjhenry89.tumblr.com/
since a few years i started to have a stronger interest for photography - shooting the right image at the right time. where it started as a common thing during my first travels, it became more and more an objective to capture the view or moment i was experiencing in the best way possible. the selected photos showcased in these pages are captured from trips to Valencia, Mexico, Tenerife and Italy.

small scale architecture. this image captures one favorite field of mine within the architecture scene; small scale architecture. (temporary) pavilions for e.g. musea, festivals or art exhibitions often fulfil an interesting role in the sociocultural context. this temporary project by Hugh and Howard Miller shows great social design in its direct context.
FIVE IMAGES fascinations, inspirations and imaginations. small scale architecture, graphic design, editing, exhibitions, Venice biennale of architecture, travelling, photography
during my creative studies and career i became passionate about certain themes. in the end, i have selected five images of these themes that express my fascinations, inspirations, ambitions and imaginations. it is my aspiration to be actively involved in these five themes.
Venice biennale of architecture. working months on this project in both Spain and Italy has been the greatest experience so far in my architectural career. enjoyed it fully from the first brainstorm session until the opening of the exposition in Venice.
photography. since a few years i started to have a stronger interest for photography - shooting the right image at the right time. this image is one of my favorites, taken in Mexico. thomas henry

travelling. seeing and experiencing different places and cultures gives me the drive and inspiration to see things objectively and relatively, to enjoy life at fullest.
graphic design, editing and exhibitions. next to architecture i have always had an interest in graphics. graphic design, exhibitions, writing texts and editing layouts are other passions of mine.
