Museum Paleis Het Loo is a historic palace and museum. Originally built in the 17th century for Stadtholder William III of Orange-Nassau, this former royal residence remained in use as a royal palace until 1975. Today, the museum offers a rich insight into Dutch history, art and royal heritage.

Following its latest renovation, carried out between 2018 and 2023, new exhibition halls and spaces were added. According to the Prix Versailles, Het Loo, with its stunning palace gardens, is one of the most beautiful museums in Europe.

Renovating and transforming a historic monument of this scale presented a major challenge, requiring flawless finishes on high walls and ceilings, precise measurements and meticulous attention to numerous complex details.

[INSPIRATION] Situated in the historic centre of Porto, the Lello bookshop is almost… spellbinding!

This house-turned-bookshop is regarded as one of the most beautiful and oldest historic bookshops in the world. It has even been designated a National Monument of Portugal since 2026, and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, alongside the historic centre of Porto.

Rebuilt by Francisco Xavier Esteves at the request of brothers José and António Lello, the current bookshop was inaugurated on January 13th 1906.

Its white façade features both Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau elements.

Inside, carved wood panelling covers the space from floor to ceiling. At its centre, a double flight of staircases running in opposite directions provides access to the upper galleries. The whole space is lit by a glass roof decorated with the bookshop’s Latin motto: Decus in Labore, ‘dignity in work’.

The renovation of the Myer Horowitz Theatre is a multifaceted project involving a comprehensive overhaul of the existing theatre infrastructure. This includes the complete refurbishment of the auditorium, sound booths, projection rooms, catwalks, changing rooms and washrooms.

One of the most critical and complex aspects of the project involved the creation of a 552-foot-long ribbon wall designed to provide both structural and acoustic functions. The wall runs along one side of the theatre and is mirrored on the opposite side.

[INSPIRATION] The Salt Cathedral is a church carved out of and built within the salt mines of Zipaquirá, in the Savanna region of Bogotá, Colombia.

Carved into the mountain, the entrance tunnel to this monumental sanctuary leads to the Way of the Cross.

Carved into the rock, the 14 Stations of the Cross guide pilgrims and visitors to a dome from which a 16-metre cross can be seen. Visitors can then descend into the nave, to the main altar, and wander through this excavated labyrinth. The sculptures and architectural features emerging from the salt rock, the play of light and the pools of water make this modern sanctuary a special place of wonder and contemplation.
