A multifunctional and inspiring learning environment
The task
Hotel School The Hague expanded its branches with a second location at Staalmeesterslaan 410 in Amsterdam, a former ABN AMRO office designed by architect Zandstra in the 1970s. The challenge was to transform this building into a contemporary educational institution, where studying, working and living come together. The interior had to have an open, functional and sustainable appearance that matches the Hotel School's core values.
“Learning, living and hospitality under one roof.”
About this project
The new campus of the Hotel School The Hague offers various functions under one roof: education, hospitality, hospitality and offices. This multifunctional concept includes classrooms, study rooms, a media library, an auditorium, teachers' offices, two restaurants (Le Debut and La Place), guest rooms and Skotel apartments for first-year students. These functions have been given their own identity, spread over the different floors.
Strategic layout: dynamic and structured
The spaces are designed with a clear structure thanks to free-standing volumes such as kitchens, service counters and classrooms, which are strategically placed in the floor plan. These volumes are designed as closed boxes with unique finishes in material and color, making for a modern and dynamic interior.
Tough, sustainable and inviting
The design combines a contemporary, rugged look with functionality and durability. The interior matches the robust and powerful character of the original building and at the same time offers an open and inviting atmosphere.
“Robust and inviting in perfect balance.”
