Buildings for cities
that keep changing.
Patient, precise,
built to change.
Aldervane is a sixty-person office for architecture and urbanism in Rotterdam and Oslo. We design towers that can become homes, schools that can become anything, and quays that belong to everyone.
Every project starts with the same question: what will this building be in fifty years? The answer shapes the grid, the floor heights and the ground floor before anything else.

Office
An office rooted in patience and precision. We design with a deep reading of context, programme and time, shaping buildings that feel calm, generous and quietly exact. From harbour masterplans to a single school, each project is built to outlive its first brief.
What we hold to
Threethingsweholdto
Rotterdam · Oslo
Floors tall enough to change use.
3.6 metres floor to floor, so a home can become an office and back.
Ground floors that belong to the city.
Every building gives its plinth to the street: markets, libraries, lobbies anyone can sit in.
Materials that age well.
Brick, timber and glazed tile from within a day’s drive, chosen to look better in thirty years.
StudioA studio where models
are still made by hand.
