Janet Vollebregt has been working on the creation of nurturing environments since 1994. In her early career she has played a considerate role in the innovation of work-environments, breaking open traditional structures and replacing them by ICT supported grids of different user and activity oriented spaces, with the actual rise of nomadic workspaces as a result. 

Janet worked as strategic architect at DEGW/Twijnstra Gudde in Amsterdam, London and Sydney. To have the freedom to study the relation between well-being and the environment more profoundly, she started working as an independent in 1997. Janet was invited to do a Phd. at Delft University of Technology in 1998. After a couple of months she found research rules to restrictive and stopped her Phd. to write the book CHAORDER, on user oriented architecture, together with Titia van den Berg. CHAORDER turned into a foundation, which also made a film and two expositions. 

During her continuous research on nurturing environments, since 1994 Janet has emerged deeply in Eastern Wisdom Traditions. She visited Buddhist cultures for 10 years, studied various lineages of Buddhism and Meditation, Yoga, Chinese Feng Shue and Japanese Jin Shin Jyutsu. 

In 2005 an assignment brought Janet to the inlands of Brazil, where she lived and worked for 10 years together with her partner Xavier de Bode, building and reforesting with native people, examining nurturing environments in close relation to wild nature. In this period she started experimenting with the creation nurturing objects of art and their influence on well-being and consciousness. Up until this day, she runs the 22 ha Casa Alto Paraíso project in Brazil, with the aim to be able to protect nature, water-wells, and native knowledge of the use of plants and to support the lives of the people working here.

In 2016 Janet was invited for a first solo exhibition called Art.Chi.Textures in Galeria Espaço Aberto, Alto Paraíso de Goías. Interest in the workings of consciousness and well-being also led to the creation of the first Floatation Centre in South America, where Janet and Xavier coached people in their self-assessment though floating in a sensory deprivation tank.

End of 2016 Janet returned to the Netherlands and founded Studio Janet Vollebregt, working on international exhibitions and projects on the cross-boarders of Architecture and Art.

Janet holds a Masters Degree in Architecture and a Masters degree in Innovation in Management of the Built Environment from Delft University of Technology. She holds an equivalent Degree at Universidade Nacional de Brasília. She is a Feng Shue Consultant trained by the Chinese Dr. Jes.T.Lim. Janet is a Mentor in the Japanese healing Art Jin Shin Jyutsu. She has worked, built, lectured and exhibited in many countries, with a focus on the Netherlands and Brazil.
