Tuinstadhuis

Landmark from the1960s

The Tuinstadhuis, a typical office building from the sixties, is the landmark at the heart of a major shopping centre. On a limited budget, Fokkema & Partners Architecten have managed to transform the Tuinstadhuis from a dark and outdated office building into an open, flexible and light space with a modern, industrial character. 



Throughout the entire project great importance was placed on equipping the building according to sustainability standards, including district heating, LED lighting, natural ventilation and new installations. The hallways and offices were designed to be open with acoustic ceilings in front of a visible concrete structure. The colours and patterns were inspired by the 1950s: NOON 5 with black lampshades and the MORPH BAR Chair in front of soft pastel colours.
