We’re drawn to the places where a glaze gathers.

A deeper blue in a fold, a pale edge, a reflection running along the curve of a tile. There can be quite a lot happening within a few centimetres.

We develop the relief and glaze together, looking at how the glaze settles into the shape and how much of the fine texture remains visible.

These are the details we keep coming back to when designing a wall. Seen across a larger surface, their colour, depth and reflections become part of the architecture.

We design ceramics with the whole building in mind.

How a facade relates to the street, how a wall frames an entrance, and how a surface changes as you move past it. These relationships shape our designs.

In our Rotterdam studio, we bring design, engineering and production together. We work between the scale of the building and the detail of each ceramic piece, exploring how geometry, relief and glaze give character to the spaces people encounter.

Last week we were at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles, working with students during a hands-on workshop and giving a lecture on Studio RAP’s approach to designing and realising bespoke ceramic architecture.

It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas, meet new people and see how the students translated the workshop brief into their own design language.

Many thanks to Winka Dubbeldam for the invitation, to Herwig Baumgartner and KAI MIKEL for organising the workshop, and to all the students for their energy and commitment throughout the day!

Which pattern are we choosing? Yes.

For this new museum entrance, we’ve designed a series of pattern strategies, exploring different densities, directions and transitions.

Rather than reducing them to a single pattern, the different strategies become part of the design. Each one finds its place across the gate, creating a composition that changes as you approach and move through the entrance.
