Considering a major Dutch cultural reference, the Felix Meritis building was built in 1788 and still continues to pay tribute to the ancestral ideals of the Enlightenment. With the aim to highlight this legacy, award-winning i29 interior design studio has been responsible for the restoration of the building’s interiors, creating a charismatic and authentic project, where every space refers to a specific period of the building’s history.

Supported by a team of specialised consultants and advisers but also MATH architects, who were responsible for the structural renovation, the studio decided to add new contemporary finishes and details, enhancing its hallmark in every area.

From the modern interpretations of the entrance area (which includes a restaurant and a reception) to the grandeur of the Concert Hall, finished with its original colours, large steel chandelier and acoustic wall cabinets, we easily understand the dialogue between a classical and modern language.
