de kunstwerkplaats, amsterdam

An old school with four floors in Amsterdam neighbourhood the “Pijp” was converted into an arts centre for adults with a mental handicap. After restoring the foundations, the available space was redesigned to accommodate café Van de Kook, a theatre for LeBelle, a gallery, a dance studio, a shop, workshops and offices. The decor is cheery but mature: instead of childish, Lego-like furniture, elegant, moveable elements with attractive shapes and hues provide a visual highlight. Big, round windows and gateways between all of the rooms create an optimal amount of daylight and a sense of spaciousness. Colours, materials and size have been adapted to the physical limitations of the centre’s clientele. The signposting employs contrasting colours, with every colour denoting a specific area.

Om alle voorzieningen kwijt te kunnen is een nieuw gebouw met een extra verdieping in het oude omhulsel geschoven. Het nieuwe interieur ademt rust en ruimte. Een vide brengt licht en lucht in de wachtkamer en de transparante receptie tegenover de voordeur biedt overzicht. Naast het meubilair ontwierp vasd ook de huisstijl, gebaseerd op het rode kruis en twee pleisters. Een aantal opvallende kleur- en vormaccenten creëren een warme sfeer: bureaus in felle tinten, banken en wandkastjes in huisstijlrood en een toepasselijk fragment uit het proza van Vestdijk aan de muur.
[tekst_en] => This listed building in The Hague was transformed into a modern practice for six GPs. To accommodate all of the facilities, a new building with an extra floor was built into the historic outer shell. The new decor exudes serenity and a sense of space. A mezzanine makes the waiting room light and airy, while the transparent reception desk opposite the front door provides a good overview. Apart from the furniture, VASD also designed the house style, based on a red cross and two plasters. A number of striking colour and design accents create a warm atmosphere featuring brightly coloured desks, couches and closets in the same red tint as the house style. The wall boasts a selected piece of prose by Dutch writer Simon Vestdijk.
