Space 05

i29 interior architects renovated the public spaces of the Dutch national credit registration center, adding private booths and a colour palette inspired by Dutch modernism.

Public 05 is the latest project by i29 interior architects, who designed the new lobby, meeting area and restaurant for BKR, the Dutch national credit registration center. Dutch citizens visit the center to see their record in relation to mortgages, loans and debts. The aim was to create an new interior identity that radiates professionalism, accuracy and transparency.

  Within an open space employees can meet with visitors and have a chance to talk about personal financial subjects inside many of the private areas fixed with high quality acoustics. A series of acoustic meeting booths are made from soft beige fabrics and wood, with some strong colored surfaces as a contrasting element. The challenge was to integrate all different elements into a unifying landscape of work and meeting places.

Different surfaces and materials connect the different objects through the space. Carpets are finished in the same color tone as cabinet fronts, completed with tables and chairs in matching color combinations. All cabinets, desks, meeting booths and benches are custom designed and made to measure, added with selected furniture in matching colors to blend in with the general color and material palette. The lively colors and graphical play are are reference to traditional Dutch modernism.
