| Kruisheren Hotel Maastricht | |
Kruisheren Hotel Maastricht is situated in the
centre of Maastricht is the former Kruisheren (Crutched Friar) cloister, dating
from the fifteenth century. Together with the monumental gothic church,
this complex has been transformed into a very special designer hotel.
It is a unique place, in which antiquity and modern design are interwoven;
yet, at the same time, architectural contrasts between the past and the present
are very clear. | |  | |  |
| The
interior has been created by the internationally renowned interior designer
Henk Vos. The basic principles are transparency, space, modernity and comfort.
Throughout the complex, use has been made of the notable designs of masters
such as Le Corbusier and Rietveld as well as modern designers like Marc Newson,
Piet Heyn Eeck, Philippe Starck and Roderick Vos. These designs form exciting
contrasts with the stained glass windows and the stunning, authentic wall and
ceiling paintings. Surrounded by peaceful cloister corridors, the garden has
also been restored to its former glory: a haven of peace amid the hustle and bustle of
the city. Beautiful pieces of light installation artwork created by the German
light installation artist Ingo Maurer provide the finishing touch to the interior
and exterior of the building. The result is challenging, but at the same
time it is a tribute to contemporary architecture and age-old architecture and construction:
a complementary contrast between past and present. | | | EANO
