Colorful story from the designer

The Media Academy is the leading training institute for the media and is located in a stately villa at the Media Park in Hilversum. This beautiful building has been renovated to restore its original glory. The interior was designed by COEN! to create a harmonious whole. All the walls and window casings are white, which is reminiscent of the purpose originally served by the building as an asthma treatment centre.

Warm atmosphere in the restaurant. Classical elements of the existing building are preserved where possible.

A major addition is the colorful, digital pixel floor with plant-like patterns, which reminds the visitor of the building's present function as a media training institute. Warm wooden accents make it a cosy working space.

The paintings in the background can be used as notice board.

Notice board prints round out the interior. Notice boards can be very boring, and of course you're not generally allowed to post notices on a painting. This notice board painting combines both these functions into a handy and colourful office accessory.
