Felix Meritis is a unique building, originally built in 1788 for a society of scientists, artists and entrepreneurs during intellectual movement "The Enlightenment". Commissioned by investment group Amerborgh, the new interiors by i29 are inspired by the rich history of the building. Every space refers to a specific time in the building's history. The starting point was to show diversity and to give all rooms their own identity, just as in 1788 each department was given its own interpretation. Together they form a collection of colorful and bold characters in the house of enlightenment. In contrast to the monumental environment, new interventions and finishes in the interiors are clearly recognizable as such, bringing the building to the present again. The new Felix Meritis experiments with programs for a curious audience drawing on the domains of technology, entrepreneurship, science and art. The biggest challenge was to bring this old monumental building to the "now", not only in terms of technology, installations and acoustic facilities, but also in appearance and experience. This project includes a restaurant, bar, lounge area, theatre, conference rooms and concert hall. Within a monumental shell, the latest theatre techniques, acoustic and lighting installations have been almost invisibly integrated. Mirrored information screens with interactive LED signing have been placed throughout the building. Just as in 1788, again the building is a place for meetings and cultural development for the new generation from all layers of society with an inspiring program on entrepreneurship, technology, science and art.
