Mission

We are devoted to create meaningful places and experiences. Spaces that make people enthusiastic. Events that inspire. Settings that connect people. Situations that are integrated in their context, ingrained in their past and present. That contribute to awareness and a respectful future.

History

wOnder is founded in 2011 by Hans Oerlemans and Paul Selwyn Norton. They come together in their fascination for people and space. How people relate to each other through space, and how space influences the way people relate to each other.
