Kantoor Koninklijke Tichelaar is a minimalist space located in Makkum, Netherlands, designed by Monadnock. This transformation from a utilitarian industrial building to an attractive office environment required a change from hard to soft, functional and friendly. The phenomenon of the “Tent-room’ as found in old country houses, was an important reference point for this transformation. The spatial coherence of the office is supported by transparent and lightweight glass walls, allowing constant visual contact.
