Rick Atienza
Co-founder Impossible Projects, Philippines
Impossible Projects is a design studio whose practice is based in the Netherlands and the Philippines. We operate within the realm of architecture and art and our aim is to challenge the conventional notions of architecture and construction in order to create functional structures that blend into their surroundings and have a low environmental impact. We continually research new materials and building methods taking into account locally available materials, technology and skill levels in order to achieve complex designs that are executed in the simplest and most direct way. Studio Impossible projects consist of Jasper Niens and Rick Atienza. In his past career Rick was an executive in the global shipping industry. Discovering that building is his primary joy, he’s dedicated his organisational skills to Studio Impossible Projects.
