Out of office: effe Niksen!
Coined as the 'perfect antidote to millennial burnout', but for us (with a few new-borns in the office) the ultimate goal and holy grail of survival: Niksen. Niksen (verb, 'niks' is Dutch for 'nothing') basically is nothing more than doing nothing for a while, taking some me-time away from everything and not needing to do anything at all.
And that is just what we are planning to do: between 8 and 18th of August Urban Nest is taking a well-deserved break after a year of hard work. We hope to meet you (again) after that. We have a lot for you in store, so stay tuned!
And for now; niks moet, niksen mag! (nothing must be done, niksen is allowed!)

Part of this preparation is a critical examination of the current status of every office space...
Urban Nest projects: Welcome to our home
Now that we all are staying in, our focus narrows down to what really matters. With us being there all the time, our house has had to become a home, which elevates the process of building a home to an act of self love. Retreating from all (fake) news, uncertainties and online obligations is sometimes the best way to stay put.
Speaking of self love; our owner Janaika felt that she should ‘practice what you preach’ and decided to make-over her complete home not long ago. Where we usually facilitate and provide for other projects and interior designers it was a breath of fresh air to commit some time to our own ‘Urban Nest’. The timing turned out to be perfect; done and settled right before mandatory cocooning time...
