New spaces for project based teaching

The Dutch educational environment is constantly changing. A lot of schools have replaced class room based teaching with independent project based teaching. With the need for different spaces I helped them design attractive open study areas.

Color protocol for a college

St. Antoniuscollege | gouda

I created a color protocol and different palettes to give the school the freedom to make changes over the years whenever their budget was sufficient. Each floor has it's own main color based on the dutch primary modernistic colors blue, yellow, red and grey. For furniture and loose objects I created a color palette based on the industrial RAL. These colors fit on each floor.

A historical home for retired priests gets a new coat of paint

RESIDENTIAL | ROTTERDAM

They live in a wonderful house from the 1800's in the middle of the town Leiden in the Netherlands. Previous painters painted everything off white which was in sharp contrast with the big oak stairs and the heavy wooden paneling. An historian was brought in to find out what the original colors were. By taking of layers of paint with a scalpel we were able to find out the original paints. I created a color palette derived from these findings and translated it to a more dynamic and saturated color palette.
