Modlar

This former Victorian waterworks was carefully reworked into a modern workspace while retaining its strong historic character.

The new rooftop extension references the site’s Egyptian Revival architecture through its tapered form and material palette. Clad in Corten steel, the addition sits in contrast with the original brick structure while still feeling connected to it.

Interior finishes take cues from Egyptian motifs and the surrounding landscape, creating spaces that feel warm, durable and considered throughout.

The VIP Centre at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol reimagines the airport lounge as a curated experience rooted in Dutch identity. Rather than a single open space, the project moves through a collection of distinct interiors that reference different eras of Dutch art and design.

Ornamental detailing, historical motifs, and contemporary furnishings create moments that feel immersive without losing a sense of comfort. Some rooms support focused work with integrated technology and privacy, while others lean into relaxation and sensory experience.
