Project:
Concept development and interior design of 'the box office' in the Chassé Theater in Breda.
In 2010 we built the box office of the Chassé theatre. The box office is also located on the forecourt and is completely white. The back wall of the box office originally featured a beautiful photo of a woman lying on a mountain of coal. This image was Herman Hertzberger's inspiration for the shape of the undulating roof construction with the stage tower. The furniture in the box office is organically shaped. Above the large reading table hangs a chandelier with red and black paint drops. In the foyer, the large wardrobe was moved to the entrance, which created more space and a better flow of the audience.
Description:
Udens Duijn emphasizes that well-designed spaces, where every detail is just right—from wayfinding to materials and from lighting to acoustics—demonstrably contribute to well-being and a faster recovery. Here, architecture is not merely a backdrop, but an active participant in the care process.
