For Clara and Marc Bellerose, life wasn’t easy—but it was intentional. They met during an internship in Amsterdam, two overworked twenty-somethings fighting over the last espresso in the break room. What followed was a steady, quiet connection built on shared ambition and long nights at the office.
Clara moved into branding, Marc into architecture. The early years were far from glamorous—freelance gigs, ramen dinners, and tight deadlines—but they were building something real. When they finally bought a townhouse in Haarlem, it felt earned.
