Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on November 24, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Wilfried! May your day be as delightfully whimsical and unforgettable as the iconic Inntel Hotel in Zaandam. Your creativity has given us buildings that make people stop, stare, smile—and occasionally wonder if they've stepped into a fairytale.

From crafting De Oriënt residential complex in The Hague's vibrant Transvaal district to designing Breda’s stylishly distinctive De Marquant development, you've consistently shown how architecture can charm cities and uplift communities. Here's hoping this year brings you even more inspiration—though topping yourself might just require building something upside-down next time!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
