The cherry on the cake equals the texture on the project, albeit product or space.. At MAXIMALdesign we have been confronted with this topics many times in an array of projects. Textures can enhance simple materials into a richer aspect visually or they can give a sensorial feedback to different usage zones; sometimes they perform at both levels… Take a look at some of the textures we have created over the years.
At the start of the 2010 academic year, the Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen welcomed students and teachers to their new campus in Turnhout. KHK commisioned MAXIMALdesign to create an overall interior concept for this new site.
At the former military grounds of the ‘Blairon Kazerne’ at the outskirts of Turnhout, the first brick was layed in 2009 for the construction of the new campus. At that moment the interior project started with a few workshops in order to find the differentiating mission, functions and experience for the new college. Students are choosing the start of their professional careers in medical service, teaching and business science. To nurture these talents the school management decided to add the extra element for the school environment.
After intensive workshops with all stakeholders, the ‘Open Gate’ concept was chosen for the connection with the KHK’s three basic values: to offer an inspiring environment, a stimulating culture and aa inspiring organisation… The ‘Open Gate’ concept welcomes everybody inside to join the educational discussion and is a bridge to the world and the students’ future.
