WHO WE ARE

  • Founder / Creative Director

    With a creative career that encompasses work in graphic and interior design, commercial printing, publishing and hospitality, Kenneth brings a wealth of practical, real-world experience to his role as both the Founder and Creative Director. At the heart of his work is a dedication to understanding the beauty, purpose and value of design to both the user and the client, and working collaboratively towards those objectives with intensity and good humour, believing that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Kenneth was born in Buffalo, New York and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where he lives with his partner Kiki and son Primo.

  • Architect

    Martijn has been an important part of The Extraordinary Office story since 2010 and is responsible for architecture, structural and design engineering, technical drawing and rendering. Together with Kenneth, he has collaborated on a long list of complex and innovative projects for a wide range of clients. Additionally, as an architect, he has a successful career in developing and realising sustainable projects in both multi-story residential and commercial sectors. He lives primarily in Amsterdam and takes great pride in his self-built, off-the-grid Japanese tea-house located in the countryside.

  • Visual Design Director

    Kiki is a Swedish native who has had the privilege of working and living in various countries in Europe before settling in Amsterdam. Since 2012, we are fortunate to have her decades of experience in branding, identity and graphic design as part of The Extraordinary Office. When not designing small scale projects, or well-known branding and identity projects, she can be found in her paint studio, stretching on a yoga mat or simply biking around the beautiful streets and canals of Amsterdam.
