M+R PORTRAIT + LANDSCAPE
10 years interior architecture

This year M+R interior architecture celebrates its tenth birthday. To mark the occasion, the Eindhoven firm decided to publish a book with an overview of their work and their perception of it. The strikingly designed book contains a wealth of visual material, backed up in terms of content by texts written by various professionals and by M+R itself.  Ten years of designing public spaces has not only resulted in a wide range of projects, it has also formed and honed M+R’s view of their profession. Founder Hans Maréchal explored the dilemmas and conclusions of this first decade in more depth in his self-penned essay. They see the interior architect as the director of a complicated design process, in which the user (the visitor or the occupant) should take a central position. How that works out in practice is covered in publications by and interviews with various journalists and clients. The many attractive photos and plans give a good picture of the results. According to M+R, the interior architect continually needs to maintain a dynamic balance between personal and public aspects. This field of tension is captured in the title of the book, Portrait + Landscape. The two concepts also served as the guiding principle for the book design. This book, with its entirely individual character, is a complete edition about the work of M+R interior architecture. Features:
   • A visual exploration of 31 projects designed by M+R interior architecture
   • Explanatory texts with each project
   • Interviews with several professionals and M+R clients
   • A detailed index with credits of each project featured
