The Department of Art & Culture, Rotterdam sought a design for the public space of the new premises at 6 Coolsingel.

The space consists of a 40 metre long hallway with a 10 metre square space at the end.

The requirements for the interior were lounge-areas, meeting-spaces, a little library,  and leaflet display cases.

The hallway was designed with an industrial approach, while the square space has more of a “nature”-touch.
