MVRDV is a Rotterdam, the Netherlands-based architecture and urban design practice founded in 1991. The name is an acronym for the founding members: Winy Maas (1959), Jacob van Rijs (1964) and Nathalie de Vries (1965). Maas and Van Rijs worked at OMA, the office of Rem Koolhaas, De Vries at Mecanoo before starting MVRDV.

Their first realised commission was the new offices for VPRO in Hilversum (NL) (1993-1997). Other built works include: Wozoco housing, Amsterdam (1994-1997) and the Dutch Pavilion at the Hannover World Exhibition Expo 2000 (1997-2000).
