The House
Huis de Vicq, a 17th-century residence and creative space, serves as both a sanctuary and a source of inspiration. Its historical architecture and serene environment provide a backdrop that encourages reflection and creativity. It fosters a dynamic dialogue and exchange of ideas, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary perspectives.
The Atelier
The building currently houses the Róhe in-house atelier, the heart of the design studio. Here, an international team works to perfect the construction and fit of the garments through research, mannequin draping, innovation, and in-house pattern making. The atelier contributes to the tradition of classic tailoring and at the same time experiments with these time-honored techniques.
The house is located in the so-called ‘Golden Bend’ of the Herengracht, where the most prestigious houses in Amsterdam were built during the city expansion of 1668. Despite significant changes in the 18th and 19th centuries, this house remains one of the best-preserved examples of a double-wide Amsterdam canal palace from the second half of the 17th century, originally built for the renowned physician Francois de Vicq.
Behind the house is a large garden, enclosed by one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful garden houses. This garden pavilion has an entirely sandstone façade with a carved representation of Mercury, the god of trade, above the central axis. On either side, there are freestanding statues of Diana and Apollo, each under a carved canopy.
