Amstelveen, 2022
Buro Mos had the honor to redesign the space an public experience of the ‘iconic building: Schouwburg Amstelveen’ a lovely forward thinking place with a broad cultural-, theater-, and filmprogram to explore, right at the middle of the city center square Stadhart.
The previous architect Bentham Crowel and Kho Liang Le’s interior specialist Nel Verschuren designed the transformation of space from the old building into the new combined situation around the year 2000. At that time, conceptual wonderfully done with a massive eye to detail, surely very outgoing. But now in these present day, 22 years later, a little outdated in usage and needs.
So our challenge was finding suiting ways to let the public feel more at home. We decided to explore with the same eye to detail and work with some of the beautiful already existing elements; like for instance the golden ceilings and some of the custom made interior items. In combination with our inspiration: ‘less is more’, we renewed, reused and recreated by coming up with a more suiting light-, color-, material-, and interior designplan. We applied new ways of usage to the existing space, with the aim to create an overall spatial more cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Schouwburg Amstelveen we really enjoyed your curiosity and trust to create something very minimalistic and outgoing, lively and beautiful together. Also a big heads-up to our dreamteam Studio Kley and Studio Stam!
