Hotel Boca Chica

When I saw Hotel Boca Chica in Elle living (dutch edition) last night I fell in love immediately. The relaxed atmosphere and the retro look is very tempting, the outside and interior as well. Let's book!It was THE hotel in de golden days of Acapulco in the 50's and 60's and, funny detail,  it was used in the Elvis movie "Fun in Acapulco."

Check out their website it really looks cool!

Portfolio: Brasserie NL

When I worked for Heyligers design + projects I worked on a project where we had to make a interior design for a restaurant (Brasserie NL), wellness, swimming pool and fitness in a former lab. The target group was 50+.

Here is the result...

(An article about the restaurant was published in Venuez)

Du style

I searched for this article for hours. An older picture of an article of VT wonen was mentioned on Emma's design blog by VogesParis and I remebered I saw a newer picture somewere but I had no clou so I searched for hours and finally found it in Volkskrant magazine. 

Here are the pictures that were used in VT wonen a few years ago. I think it's remarkable how different the space looks because of the position of the camera.

Camper shop, Paris

This is the third time Tokujin Yoshioka designs for Camper, and the shop that recently opened in Paris is a space inspired by the loveliness of a landscape in full bloom. Beautiful!

A colleague of mine told me about this coffee shop, and I love it! They printed de books on the tiles, very simple and still practical. They put the ceiling lighting on the wall, clever detail. The coffee shop  was designed by New York studio Nemaworkshop

Hotel Waterhouse Shanghai

The Waterhouse, a luxury Boutique hotel on the South Bund of Shanghai, is a legitimate reason for me to go to Shanghai again soon. I love the industrial style. The Chinese company Neri & Hu Design and Research Office designed this gorgeous hotel.
