Jo Rutzen, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) en architect
More than 25 years ago, Jo Rutzen entered the captivating world of real estate and construction development. Since then, he has continued his professional journey with great enthusiasm, always aiming to create sustainable living environments where both humans and nature take center stage.
His career started with drafting contemporary building plans and revising outdated ones to meet changing demands. Over the years, he has participated in various contests for lifelong living and has been deeply involved in developing dementia care homes and planning a dementia village. He has also established childcare centers and crafted concepts for eco-friendly holiday parks, which fall within his areas of expertise.
Jo Rutzen strongly believes in sustainable construction methods that safeguard the environment. He is committed to regenerative energy generation and storage, as well as environmentally friendly water purification. He envisions mobility concepts for small communities that seamlessly integrate car-sharing and public transportation.
Another crucial facet of his work is the concept of “Multi-Generational Living.” In this regard, he takes into account the different Sinus Milieus to develop tailor-made solutions that align with the needs and lifestyles of people.
Promoting a balanced “life-work balance” and creating nature-rich gardens that support health and biodiversity are of significant importance to him. The social aspect of projects always takes precedence.
As a co-founder and board member of the nonprofit organization Tiny ways e.V. (Anbi) (www.tinyways.de), he provides free advice to local and provincial authorities to enable human-oriented (area/residential) developments right from the outset.
Thanks to his familial roots and connections with Dutch friends and business partners, he has successfully expanded his activities to the Netherlands. He looks forward to applying his years of experience and expertise in sustainable real estate projects there.
Through his company, ‘Jo Rutzen Holding bv,’ he partners with and collaborates closely with Green Deal Houses (Holding) BV (GDH) to realize sustainable projects in the realm of real estate and tourism. Together with their partners, they strive to create living environments that hold value for future generations and have a positive impact on both people and nature.
