Composite Sliding Roof Museum Voorlinden
Project detailsx
Client: Museum Voorlinden
Location: Wassenaar, Netherlands
Year: 2016
Surface: 20 m2
Material: Composite
Specifics: A lightweight composite sliding roof that offers the museum visitors a unique see-through experience.
James Turrell designed a “Skyspace” with a composite sunroof especially for Museum Voorlinden. It consists of a space with a square hole in the roof, through which the viewer looks directly upwards and sees the sky as never before.
In creating this “Skyspace” Turrell created a program of light that contributes to the twilight in Wassenaar. The soft natural light contrasts with the bright, almost tangible colors of the Skyspace lights. The effect is breathtaking.
In case of rain or snow, the Skyspace is temporarily closed to prevent slipping. Kraaijvanger Architects designed this beautiful building for the Voorlinden Museum.
Development, production, transport and assembly of the composite sliding roof for Museum Voorlinden by Holland Composites.

"The freedom of design that composite offers is' extremely interesting ', agrees architect Joost Vos of Benthem Crouwel, the agency that designed the bathtub for the Stedelijk Museum' You can determine the ingredients yourself in composites. Choosing, for example, hardness, but also by color, shape and degree of gloss." Joost Vos, Benthem Crouwel
