Happy 25th birthday B-too
Today, B-too is celebrating its 25th anniversary! And when you register your company with the Chamber of Commerce on the 11th of November, you know a themed party is a must. That’s why at 11:11, we’ll raise a toast along with all our B-group colleagues to the past 25 years, fully in style and in the colors of Lampegat. Together with Joep, we’ve taken a look back at these years.
“Reflecting on 25 years is hard. It’s such a significant period of your life… and it flew by. How do you summarize that?! I think you could compare it to watching your children grow up. They go through various phases in their lives, and all those phases together ultimately make up those 25 years…
B-too started in Eindhoven on Kruisstraat, moved to Bleekstraat, then to Torenallee, and later to building TT in Strijp-T. After the acquisition by B-group, we stayed there for a while, but this year we have (truly) joined the B-group in building TQ.
Each phase was special, but this last step feels like ‘the next step.’ It’s like your child is now standing on its own two feet; it’s out of your hands. They have their own life, they can manage on their own. Amazing! That makes the moments when my advice and experience are still called upon even more special.” – Joep Verheijen, former director
Publication: The Art of Living
With the transformation of a former 1960s home into a luxury villa, we’re featured in the latest edition of The Art of Living. For this project, we collaborated with construction company Van Rijswijck and Sparq Tuinen. Our passion for architecture, natural materials, and craftsmanship is visibly at the heart of this project.

Hey Ester & Sanne, why work at B-too?
“My passion for interior design only emerged after I completed my studies in healthcare. That’s why I decided to pursue an interior design course, and I recently graduated. The compact team at B-too, which works on a wide range of projects, really appeals to me. I can’t wait to get started and am grateful for this opportunity to develop myself as an interior designer.” – Sanne Galama
“Why did I choose B-too? Because it’s the perfect opportunity for me to create interiors for a completely different market than before. I hope to grow both professionally and personally as a result.” – Ester Adriaanse
We’ve moved!
After 10 years in our own office, we are saying goodbye to the iconic former Philips building and joining our sister companies B-invented B.V., B-smart fundering B.V., B-leaf systeembouw B.V., and B-happy realisatie B.V.
Thanks to the collaboration between these various disciplines within the B-group, we now offer broader expertise than just architecture and interior design. This enables us to be an even more comprehensive partner for our clients, continually surprising visitors, observers, and residents with a conscious and vibrant experience.
We remain at our familiar location on Strijp-T in Eindhoven.
From now on, you can find us at: Achtseweg Zuid 153M | 5651 GW Eindhoven
Do you already have a project in mind where we can support you with integrated architecture and/or interior design? Feel free to drop by—our coffee machine has, of course, moved with us! ☕
Hey Victor, why work at B-too?
“I have been active in the interior design industry since 2006. I gained experience at various design studios and companies, which familiarised me with a wide range of different assignments. Until recently, I ran my own business, where I had the opportunity to shape and lead some beautiful and interesting projects.
Ultimately, I found that as an independent entrepreneur, I missed the collaboration that comes with being part of a team. This feeling was particularly strong after I accidentally met some B-too members in London at the end of last year. They must have sensed this too, as a few months later, I received a call asking if we could work together.
Now, we are enthusiastically embarking on new ventures to create inspiring and thought-provoking projects.” – Victor Riestra
Together, we shape the future
Recently, Joanknecht published the winter edition of their magazine ‘Together, we shape the future.’ B-group’s own Joost Huijgen was also interviewed for the publication. The focus of the interview was ‘innovation in construction.’

Achievable engineering
That’s a matter of achievable engineering,” is a statement you often hear from us, but what do we mean by it?
Achievable engineering in timber construction arises from the close contact that our engineers and production teams maintain. They go through the process from concept to realization as partners. This ensures that timber construction plans are feasible and scalable.
Sometimes, this involves considering standard dimensions in drawings, but it can also be about cleverly utilizing leftover materials within the same project. This way, we save materials, streamline production, and everyone takes responsibility. That’s what achievable engineering is all about.
B-leaf has started!
As the newest addition to the B-group, B-leaf focuses on timber construction systems based on the B-group’s shared vision ‘Together. Building. Conscious.’
Together, by simultaneously engaging all involved parties, we ensure that we make construction processes more efficient, leading to the creation of better buildings.
Building, by realizing feasible, impactful construction projects in an effective manner.
Conscious, by responsibly managing our impact on current and future society. Material choice plays a significant role in this. We combine various timber construction systems to maximize efficiency from each type of material and/or system. This is beneficial for the amount of raw materials, usable surface area, and the production and realization process.
