Menno has been a design-driven project developer and director of cepezedprojects since 2000. Circularity plays a leading role in every project of cepezedprojects. For his contribution to the transition to a circular construction economy, he was proclaimed 'Circular Hero' in 2022. In addition, Menno participates in various platforms, including the Circular Construction Economy Transition Team, which aims to transform construction into a fully circular industry.

Menno studied Economics at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, after which he obtained his degree as an architect and structural engineer at the Delft University of Technology.

The most important circular projects are: the relocation of the Zuiderstrandtheater from Scheveningen to Oss, Building D(emountable) in Delft, the Temporary Courthouse Amsterdam that will be given a second life as a multi-tenant building in Enschede and The Green House in Utrecht.

cepezedprojects, together with the architectural firm cepezed, cepezedinterieur and cepezedbouwteam, form the four labels under which cepezed develops, designs and realizes buildings.
