Located inside Oosterpark, this former 19th-century orphanage is an open, accessible space, which seamlessly merges the landmark’s historic character with contemporary glass, greenery, and gentle earthy hues to suit its surroundings. Following the original architect’s uncompleted floor plans, there’s a new wing with 16 spacious rooms, a park-facing restaurant, and meeting spaces. Events and cultural activities in the restored historic chapel make it an ideal meeting place for creatives.
