Claus & Kaan is a Dutch architecture firm led by Felix Claus and Kees Kaan. The firm designed the House of Culture and Administration in Nijverdal.[1] It has also designed "social housing" projects in Amsterdam. [2] The firm a completed an "upscale collection of boxy units" named Rietvelden, after the "Dutch modernist master" Gerrit Rietveld, in a suburban development in Ypenburg.[3]
The firm also designed Mövenpick's 408-room hotel tower that opened in 2007 in Amsterdam's harbor area. The hotel has "a 20-story exterior striped in alternating bands of glass, white concrete and green granite — not unlike an enormous Popsicle."[4]
