Studio Thonik
In this inner city courtyard the Amsterdam-based studio for visual communication, Thonik, has its atelier and house. The two storey volume is wrapped by a polyurethane coating, a material that mergers the volume into a homogeneous building without details. To emphasise on the 'plastic' effect of the material, originally bright orange had been chosen for the colour, a favourite colour from the palette of the users, Studio Thonik, graphic designers. But, the inhabitants of the surrounding houses claimed they experienced serious nuisance from this colour. Quote: ''The doctor had ordered me not to be preoccupied with it anymore. It has given me so much private misery. Orange does something to you. It does not really hurt the eyes, it injures the mind."
Part of the interior is designed bij Richard Hutten.
