The project has been selected for the prestigious Archiprix 1998. Parallel to his studies in Delft Michiel studied for a period of one year at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy. The design for the housing complex in Pavia in Italy which was realized under the supervision of professor Remo Dorigatti was nominated with honour at the international OTIS competition. After his studies Michiel worked for the renown architecture firm Meyer en Van Schooten in Amsterdam. The firm’s professional and consistent attitude towards architecture was of important influence. During a period of two years Michiel also worked for the Amsterdam based architecture firm Maaskant en Van Velzen where he participated in the large renovation of the visitors centre of Zuid-Kennemerland, a large ecological landscape near the Dutch coast. Together with Barbara Michiel founded Hofman Dujardin Architects in 1999. In 2000 Michiel received a grant from the Dutch Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture.

Interiors have more importance in our lives than we think. They have to make us feel emotions, that is why it’s crucial to find the right person or architectural and interior design company, able to tell the right narrative.

Contemporary means ‘at the moment’ and it’s a style that is always evolving throughout the years. A design that is a mix of different aesthetics and features – it illustrates contemmporary trends, while paying homage to the past. In contemporary ambiances, you can see modern elements mixed, in a bold and elegant way, with art-deco or traditional design pieces.

Contemporary Décor is more eclectic than, for example, modern décor. Layering plenty of natural light is one of the latest design trends of the year, and these windowed walls were imported from the mid-century modern desing. Sunlight makes a huge difference in our life: we feel happier and it can also provides us Vitamin D, ideal to prevent diseases and depression. So, having the right balance between artificial and natural light in an office is one of the most important features. Besides that, using both of them, natural and artificial light, can emphasize volumes and shapes to a room.
