[b]Jan Bakers Architect bureau Amsterdam office:[/b] Located just outside the heart of Amsterdam, this young thriving company has recently settled in the so-called 'Clipper Building' together with three other companies. Their main office is located in Utrecht, but with the increasing demands for architects, they opened a branch in Amsterdam as well. The building is four stories high, made out of concrete and glass, lacking every characteristic appeal that seems to ooze out of the Herenhuizen (city mansions, I don't really know how to translate it) on the channels, the character that Amsterdam is known for. The reception is shared with the other companies but Bakers' hires the whole second floor. This floor breathes light and is designed by someone who lacked any colours but white. Sketches and photos of finished projects decorate the walls of the waiting room as well as the branch leader's office. It's relatively small, but for a business that opened up only twelve years ago in Utrecht, it's quite the accomplishment.
