Bert Bulthuis

Bert Bulthuis is a native of The Netherlands who has been based in Hong Kong since 2012.
Originally from Groningen in the north of The Netherlands, Bert founded his first firm, Sitec Studio Architecture, in 1993.

He established a new practice in Hong Kong to expand on his Dutch building
philosophy in 2013. Both companies operate as one, under the company name STUDIO SITEC.

Bert and his team have designed and realized over 350 buildings, urban developments and interiors across the STUDIO SITEC practices, employing and collaborating with many talented engineers, architects, and designers along the way. Bert takes a 360-degree perspective on each of the projects he undertakes and is involved in every stage of the building process from meeting and talking to clients, creating concepts and designing and integrating building details to monitoring the process.

Bert is taking in his work the last years a more and more holistic approach where creating spaces is in balance with nature and where circularity, regenerative design and sustainability are monitored on a larger scale than the specific designs STUDIO SITEC is working on.

Bert is a chartered Architect and Member of The Royal Dutch Society of Architects.
Bert is also member of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce ESG committee and SME committee.

My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

– more focus on sustainability in the city building process where different scale levels are taken into account
– focus on a more circular approach within the interior building process
– monitoring, evaluating, analyzing existing buildings to make these more sustainable.
