‘the new world of waiting’ beside ‘the new world of working’

Atelier PRO was responsible for the renovation and restoration of the monumental parts of the new city hall. We brought back as much as possible the old glory of the rooms and offices in these historical parts and have further strengthened them by creatively using color. The rooms have been carefully decorated with both antique and contemporary elements, incorporating the latest technology. These new additions fit nicely and naturally in the historical character. Our design is focused on the possibility of making choices and the extent of making adjustments. The tables can be used multi-purpose and can easily be adjusted in a large conference table set-up or divided into separate parts for smaller conversations. But also as a visitor you can choose options. Do you have to get your passport? Then you take a seat on a wooden bench. However, in preparation of a long appointment, you can withdraw into a quiet corner.

We have called this concept ‘The New Waiting’.
