Commissioned by Next Nature, taking the challenge of revitalizing the entrance, lounge, restaurant, and meeting rooms of the Evoluon with limited resources. The goal: to restore the monument's original essence while eliminating clutter. The circular design approach, by utilizing existing furnishings with a fresh blue "skin" to maintain the building's integrity. This blue symbolizes purity and the future, aligning with Next Nature's branding and Philips' legacy. The interior is made of environmentally friendly materials and furniture of local designers.
Twenty years of M+R interior architecture While our volatile consumer society is mainly about buying stuff and keeping up with the latest trends, M+R interior architecture pleads for sustainable interiors that still have the wow factor after twenty years. Volatile designs that quickly get you tired are not for us. Durability M+R interior architecture creates interiors for public spaces such as theaters, airports, libraries and innovative work environments. Some of them date back to when M+R was just founded, twenty years ago. Quality and sustainability are returning themes in all our designs. We use high-quality, sustainable materials that we use in a circular manner. We want to prevent the customer from becoming restless and wanting to change after a few years. Volatility should never be the basis. The office projects we design should still feel like home after years. Important factors in this are atmosphere, climate, acoustics and ergonomics.
