Library NHL Stenden

The modern, spacious interior space that is part of the library and study center of Hogeschool NHL Stenden in Leeuwarden was designed by Spring Studio. The interior has an open and light feel, with lots of natural light coming in through large skylights. The space is divided over several levels, with stairs leading to a higher platform where tables and chairs are available for studying or working.

The architecture emphasizes openness and accessibility, and the space is ideal for studying, reading, or group work.

The curtain in the background has a modern and clean design that visually divides the space without completely losing its openness. The curtain is made of the light pastel green-blue fabrics Flamondo and Sonora and hangs from the ceiling to the floor. Both are fire-retardant fabrics made with recycled PET. A high-quality sustainable choice.

A striking feature is the geometric, stepped break in the pattern, where the height in the curtain varies, creating a playful and dynamic effect. The interior designer drew inspiration from the library's books. The semi-transparent section allows light to partially pass through the curtain, contributing to a bright and airy atmosphere in the room. The curtain is intended to separate functional areas, such as work or study areas, without the need for a permanent wall and also to enhance the overall atmosphere of the large room.
