Studio Donna van Milligen Bielke

Studio Donna van Milligen Bielke is an Amsterdam architecture practice led by Donna van Milligen Bielke, whose work moves between buildings, exhibition design and research. Her method starts from architecture’s own archive, from precedents, typologies and existing structures, recombining what is already there rather than importing language from other fields.

Built work includes De Kunstwerf in Groningen, a housing and workshop block made with Ard de Vries Architecten and nominated for the Dutch Design Awards 2023 in the Habitat category, the Waterloopbos visitor centre, Monkey House and housing on Havenstraat in Amsterdam. The studio also designs exhibitions and installations, among them Unravel at the Barbican and Stedelijk Museum, Boijmans Van Beuningen at the Rijksmuseum and Roman Tissue at Kunsthal Rotterdam.
