Lubbers Boer & Douma

In the heart of The Hague, we were tasked with transforming a historic property into the new offices of Lubbers, Boer & Douma, a tax law firm. Spread across several floors, the building retains much of its original character, which served as the foundation for our understated and pragmatic design approach.

The interior was conceived as a calm and composed environment—subtle in tone, yet rich in detail. Through a carefully considered palette of nuanced materials and colors, we created a workspace that feels both contemporary and deeply respectful of its heritage. The program includes meeting rooms, private offices, and a library, each space designed to feel inviting and intuitive.

One of the core challenges was the integration of modern technical systems. Air conditioning and electrical installations were discreetly concealed behind repositioned wainscoting and restored classical panels, preserving the integrity of the architecture while meeting current functional demands.

We also provided curatorial input for the art collection. Notably, the meeting rooms feature linen wall hangings by Ina Meijer, co-founder of Studio INAMATT. These works were selected not only for their artistic merit but also for their ability to harmonize with the scale and tone of the interiors.
