C Concept Design is an international architecture firm based in The Hague, Netherlands founded by American architect Matthew VanderBorgh in 2002. C Concept Design focuses on sustainable practices, master-planning and concept design. Matthew VanderBorgh earned his bachelor's degree from Hope College in 1984. He would later receive a Masters Diploma of Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design.[1] C Concept Design has focused on providing urban and architectural visions for the programming, concept and design development of new buildings. Prior to C Concept Design, VanderBorgh worked as an architectural designer on the prize winning Gateway Transit Center in Los Angeles in 1997.[2]
