Rotterdam Nesselande Cultural Centre

The Netherlands, 2008. Rotterdam Nesselande Cultureel Centrum. How to stuff too much functions in little space and to become happy.

Situation
Here’s a limited amount of floor space, and put in a restaurant, a small hotel, a café, a library, some learning rooms and a theatre. And don’t forget the offices, too!

Target
Create a new blend of functions, let them interact and intensify each other. Make it look simple and logical and don’t let show there actually is too less room.

Action
Forget individual lists of needs and demands. Make one together instead. Focus on customers rather than employees. Discover a new blend of functions, tools, furniture and embrace interaction as a solution.

Result
A library like no other. And a cultural centre like no other. Functions gently nestle against one another, creating a exciting cultural maze you don’t want to escape from.
