Creators of composed balance in exteriors, interiors and products

For Studio Piet Boon, the Art Hotel is the first total hospitality concept on the lively tropical island of Curaçao. The hotel is located in a monumental building in Pietermaai. Pietermaai is a part of Willemstad, named after captain Pieter de Meij, who settled in Curaçao in 1674. The district, which is located on the coast, has developed into a cool area in recent years. Because of its lively environment and rich history, the Pietermaai District is also called the SoHo of Curaçao.

Studio Piet Boon has been selected by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and CTF Amsterdam B.V to design all of the guestrooms and public spaces of the Rosewood Amsterdam. The ultra-luxury hospitality group will open its first hotel in the Netherlands in 2023, which will be located in the magnificent former Palace of Justice in the historic canal district. The iconic building, known for its great architectural, historical and social significance, overlooks the Prinsengracht, one of the most beautiful waterways in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Amsterdam Canal District. With its central location and bespoke design, carefully conceived to offer an inviting and warm atmosphere, the property is poised to serve as an unparalleled gathering place for visiting guests and the local community alike.

Studio Piet Boon designed the interior for the luxury hotel including all 241 unique guestrooms. The hotel, that bridges modern living and senses of local culture, is situated in the heart of the lively and glamorous Gangnam district. Reflecting the spirit of the district, our design concept was inspired by the sense of freedom and jogakbo bojagi, the traditional Korean cloth art, by reinterpreting the colors and patterns in a contemporary way.

The design intent for this barn-like structure was inspired by farms in the surrounding area to create a one-story office that breathes a homely, residential feel. The square-shaped layout encloses a perfectly symmetrical patio with a tranquil water feature and provides significant privacy. Extending from the water feature, a protruding window provides a glimpse into the gym and showcases the wonderful views in front of the building. The shape of the building and its large windows provide panoramic views over the surrounding golf course.

Internationally operating Dutch financial services company Delta Lloyd initially commissioned Studio Piet Boon in 2011 for the redesign of the interior of the ground floor and public spaces of the company’s global headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Tasked with the interior design of this 450 M2 high-end art infused turn-key three bedroom and two bathroom model apartment in 2014 by Dutch developer Prowinko, we chose to use the architectural characteristics of the building designed by UNStudio as starting point for our design and translate these to the exterior walls of the kitchen, bath- and living room, providing them with the same playful lines as the building. Set against a contemporary backdrop, we opted for a subdued color scheme of cream, mocha and bronzed gold create a luxurious warm and serene atmosphere.

Michelin-star chef Sergio Herman and chef Nick Bril created their “fine dining meets rock ’n roll” restaurant vision together with Piet Boon. Based on our belief in authenticity, functionality and materials that ‘age beautifully’ we chose to restore only the highly necessary in the chapel and hence preserve the rest.

Studio Piet Boon is responsible for the interior design of this part new build, part renovated beach hotel and Michelin star restaurants Pure C and Blueness. The design for various spaces was inspired by the typical Dutch Zeeland coastal environment. The color palette gives a calm, relaxed atmosphere in which the surrounding nature plays the main role. Through the use of luxurious and timeless materials, prominent place is given to details and special art objects in the various areas of the building. The Strandhotel with its restaurant, by Dutch chef Sergio Herman, serves as a sanctuary for creating moments of peacefulness and serenity that stimulate all the sense.

We chose to give it the Dutch name “Oosten”, which means “east” which also refers to New York’s Dutch roots. Offering 216 high-end luxury homes varying from luxurious studios to extraordinary townhouses, Oosten is unique in its varied typology of building units. These units combine to form not only a greater building but the fabric of a neighborhood. Our interior design strives to reach across these boarders of spaces to provide a consistent design aesthetic that carries through space and time.
