Solar mobility.
The combination of streamlined design and integrated solar technology immediately suggested to me how the traditional concept of mobility can be transformed. Interior spaces and vehicle architecture prioritize functionality and lightness, while everyday flexibility aligns with a tangible vision of innovation, redefining the relationship between energy, environment, and driving experience. Creativity emerges in the ability […]
Cultural momentum.
When I first encountered this project, I realised I was not simply witnessing the transformation of a building, but the evolution of how we narrate human movement across the world. Within this architecture, I found a true laboratory of vision, where memory, future and city are woven into a single, integrated experience. Fenix, the new […]
National monument.
From my point of view, this is a classic case where unless you experience it firsthand, you don’t fully grasp the difference — or the direction we’re heading. There is something profoundly symbolic about the fact that the new Eurostar terminal is housed within a national monument: Amsterdam Central Station. At a time when sustainable […]
Adaptive reuse.
Transformation is an integral part of innovation, but the intended use also plays a crucial role in this process. We see this increasingly often, even here at Drumroll, in the section of our website that I personally curate: spaces of all kinds and natures are being rethought for uses different from their original purpose. An […]
Beyond boundaries.
For a while now, in my research, I’ve been encountering cutting-edge museums that are able to look to the future with innovation as their guide and interpret the world in constant transformation. Some of these cultural hubs are located far from the spotlight of major world capitals. An example of excellence is Nxt Museum, a […]
Spaces that really matter.
The world of business services has always been a focus for us, especially those with the ability to add value and those with that extra touch that is visible to the naked eye. I have fond memories of meeting Robert Thiemann some twenty years ago. He was already well known in the design world for […]
A sonic logo for brand awareness and affinity.
MassiveMusic, an international creative music agency and TikTok partner, partnered with Kantar to track the performance of TikTok’s new sonic logo across eight key markets encompassing over 9,000 consumers following the launch of the social media’s sonic identity in late 2022. The findings show that the new sonic identity has significantly increased brand awareness and […]
A parking space for 7000 bicycles.
The Wurk studio recently completed a project for a public parking space for approximately 7,000 bicycles in Amsterdam, near the central station – about 9 meters below the level of the city’s waterways. The new “underwater” space, which is part of a larger regeneration project in the area, is linked to the city’s subway and […]
The city is the theater.
An urban experience for everybody. Shaping the cities of the future and activating communities worldwide can be classified as transformative marketing of sorts – yet with many stakeholders. Putting together global brands, capital investors, property developers, and city leaders to shape boundary-blurring places where people thrive is a challenge revolving around creating an approach that […]
The goal: 40m “zero emission.”
Domus is a collaboration between Van Geest Design and Rob Doyle Design to present this new 40-meter sailing trimaran concept. It aims to become the first “zero emission” yacht over 750 GT. Domus combines speed, space, and an eco-conscious cruise to create a truly unique design for 783 square meters. Onboard are all the latest […]
