Liong Lie

Apart from architecture and design, I'm also passionate about people. I'm a natural watch dog for authenticity: safeguarding it in our designs, but also recognizing it in people. I have a background in art, graphic design and webdesign but I am married to architecture. Unrestrained by having to deal with the laws of gravity as an architect, I judge architecture by its sole ability to embrace the dreams and diversity of human beings and therefore improving people's quality of life. I am the quiet force behind 123DV / Liong Lie Architects. I have a strong visual design instinct and a hawk eye for detail that pushes our work further. You can find me here: I grew up in Germany and studied there, in a pleasant region characterized by viticulture. My choice for architecture was made before I even knew it, because my parents had a sculpture and stonemasonry and there was always something being built or refurbished at the Rörig residence.

Since 2014 I am now working for and with Liong Lie and realize a dream of mine Which I had when I was a student: designing houses. In my spare time Im a mother of two small children with a big passion for cooking and baking. My slogan is: Building is what you do together. Which dream can I realize together with you? You can find me here: Being an architect is the right choice for me. A choice that led me to leave my country and pursue a new life in one of the most modern cities in Europe from an architectural point of view: Rotterdam. Thinking back, I realize that I became an architect by accident. Unlike many, I didn't feel a particular passion, but during my study at university it started to grow quickly. Over the years, I realized that I had always been interested in architecture in the past: I have built models, drew building ...
