The Ketelhuis Cinema, where three film auditoria are being fused into an almost space-filling interior volume, and the Espressofabriek, both stand out for the broad, powerful gesture of the design. The inserted objects occupy the space like autonomous sculptures, complete with dents and bumps. The intervention is clear: nowhere is the visitor seduced by stylistic devices, neither by a designer in pursuit of effect nor in the use. Whatever the user does with the interior, the concept holds out.
