‘Room On The Roof’ by Interior Architects i29 // Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Architects: i29.
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Year completed: 2014.
Photography: Ewout Huibers.

Dutch design studio i29 was invited to create Maarten Baas‘ residence, known as ‘Room on the Roof,’ inside a small tower of De Bijenkorf department store in Amsterdam. Together with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, de Bijenkorf has invited national and international artists to work on their projects in the studio, ranging from performances, poetry and light art to dance, music, film and photography.

The works resulting from time spent in ‘Room On The Roof’ will be shared with the public – through an exhibition in the store windows, an online live performance or an installation in or around de Bijenkorf. The program is also tailored to major events taking place in Amsterdam and involve collaborations with cultural institutions across the Netherlands.

For the first two years of the project, the Rijksmuseum will be the cultural partner of ‘Room On The Roof’. “Both the Rijksmuseum and de Bijenkorf have a rich history when it comes to being a source of inspiration and creativity. That’s why we support Room On The Roof where artists, designers and writers are given the opportunity to fully focus on their art.” stated Business Director Erik van Ginkel.
