Architecture is the art of defining space with form,
material, color and light. Human
architecture aims to create space
that relates to the human scale
De Jong Gortemaker Algra is a multidisciplinary design firm
with 120 employees. Architects, interior designers, structural
and design engineers work on innovative architecture in
project teams. De Jong Gortemaker Algra is located in the
Las Palmas building on the Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam. De
building was build in 1952 and was used as a storage space
for the Holland America Line.
Our strength lies in strong conceptual thinking and our rela-
tionship and communication with the users and owners of our
buildings. Trough all the years of experience we have a lot of
knowledge in designing for the social sector.
De Jong Gortemaker Algra beliefs that the well-being of peo-
ple is strongly connected to the experience of their surround-
ings. Corporate Social Responsibility is an important factor in
the designing process at dJGA. In our projects as well as in
the office we strive to make people aware to keep the natural
environment available for future generations.

History
In 1924, the young Rotterdam architect J.P.L. Hendriks
won the prestigious Prix de Rome for fine architecture. This
bursary enabled him to spend a considerable amount of time
travelling throughout southern Europe to develop his talents
further. He spent four years roaming through South Tyrol and
Italy with his friend Van der Sluys, sketching and studying.
There is still a suitcase full of drawings of classical buildings
from Rome to Florence that Jan Hendriks brought back to the
Netherlands. On his return, he started his own company in
Rotterdam. After the war, he continued this firm as a partner-
ship with his brother-in-law L.A. van den Bosch. The last Rot-
terdam office – after shifting location around the city various
times – was on the Prins Hendrikkade on the Noordereiland
in the Seventies. By then the company was called Hendriks
Campman Tennekes Architects and also had offices in Gouda
and Nijmegen. In 1980 a new office was opened in Gouda.
The offices in Rotterdam and Nijmegen were then closed. In
Gouda, new generations succeeded one another under the
names Campman Tennekes de Jong, de Jong Gortemaker and
finally de Jong Gortemaker Algra architects and engineers. At
the end of 2005, Architectengroep Duintjer BV in Amsterdam
was added to this. In 2007, both agencies were merged in the
new office Las Palmas in Rotterdam.
