The first step towards a workplace that truly works.

We design and manage office environments that help people connect, focus and thrive.

First Lines was founded with one clear mission: to rethink how offices should function. We create environments that feel balanced, human and intuitive — places where people can focus, meet, share ideas and feel at home at the same time.

Everything we do starts with taking the first step towards that goal. We combine workplace strategy, interior design and project management to deliver spaces that genuinely support people and organizations.

How do we do that? We do it in a very pragmatic way, quickly, concretely, and to the point.

First Lines is an office interior architecture and project management studio near Amsterdam, working across the Randstad region from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to The Hague and Utrecht.

We translate workplace strategies into tangible, high quality environments that help organizations thrive. With a hands on approach and strong technical expertise, we guide every step — from concept to completion.

First Lines refers to the beginning of every good plan

The first lines of a sketch, where an idea takes shape, and the lines we set out as project managers.

We draw those first lines so that what starts on paper ends as something that’s right in every detail.

2019 | Founders Arno Bon & Frank Maaskant embark on the approach of hybrid architecture

At First Lines, we believe that our hybrid approach to architecture aligns perfectly with today's world, where hybrid work is becoming increasingly common. But what do we mean by hybrid architecture?

We combine traditional architecture with project management and real estate consulting, focusing on the latest technologies and trends. This enables us to design buildings and spaces that are ready for the future and suitable for hybrid work.

Our team consists of experienced and talented architects, project managers, and advisors who work closely with our clients to understand their needs and bring their vision to life.

Whether it's renovating an existing building or constructing a new property, we ensure seamless integration of all advice.

Creative ideas

Creativity without realistic insights can result in beautiful artworks. However, when designing offices, a harmonious balance between creativity and functionality is crucial. By integrating both aspects, an inspiring and productive work environment is created that meets the needs of modern professionals. Discover how we achieve this synergy.

Pragmatic approach

We offer practical solutions and prioritize concrete goals, thereby creating work environments that function optimally. We follow an approach where we experiment quickly and stop pursuing impossible paths early on, redirecting our focus towards successful strategies. It's about early identification and resolution of problems for a more efficient process.

Unique approach

First Lines' unique approach combines traditional architecture, project management, and real estate consulting with a focus on technologies and trends for hybrid working.

Smart design

Smartly designing offices is essential to meet the needs of employees and create a productive work environment. By adapting the layout to individual requirements, such as providing focus areas, collaboration zones, and relaxation spaces, you enhance satisfaction and efficiency.
