NRL was founded in 1982. As a Dutch landscape design firm with more than 38 years of experience, both in the Netherlands and abroad, we have grown into specialists in landscape architecture and urban green design. Our team primarily consists of landscape architects and designers, complemented by a planting specialist and a technical advisor. When additional expertise is required, we draw on our strong network to assemble a broader team.

Judith van der Poel is the owner and managing director, responsible for daily operations. Herman Hobbelink is part of the team as a designer, project leader, and partner. Founder Niek Roozen stepped down as director in 2019 but remains involved with Niek Roozen Landscape as an advisor.

Key themes at the heart of our projects include emphasizing the qualities of the existing landscape and appreciating local culture.
The firm works on a wide range of projects, including parks, international expos, theme parks, sustainably designed urban districts, horticultural exhibitions, recreational areas, botanical gardens, nature reserves, and rural developments. We collaborate closely with both national and international design studios and technical consultancies.
