Karel Appel House

We see architecture as an open source; a gift in which others are challenged to participate.

DUS was invited by Housing corporation de Key, the CoBra Museum and the Royal Dutch RijksAkademie to create an interior with a complex brief: short stay artist residences that can double up as gallery spaces and mini museum, and commemorate the late renowned artist Karel Appel. This was solved in a bold design that is both humble and daring. It creates open plan apartments with 2 mm thin steel wall dividers, which create areas that can be used in many ways, without diminishing the open feel of the space.
