The book 'Reflections' sheds light on the various facets of the renovation of Paleis Het Loo. Impressive photographs and texts guide you through the renovation process: the design by KAAN Architecten, the building’s history, the meeting of old and new and the palace’s current role as an (underground) public museum.
This renovation put Paleis Het Loo on a pedestal both literally and figuratively. A modern museum was created - underground. The new building leaves the façade and interior of the palace untouched and is inextricably linked to the historical building. The roof, with its integrated glass pool, allows daylight to enter, as do the light slits along its edges. Below, you catch a glimpse of the palace; above, you see the Grand Foyer: symmetry and reflection are everywhere.
Reflections reveals a quality project in which the past, present and future reinforce each other.
With contributions by: Floris Alkemade, Peter Bakkum, Pien Harms, Anton Kos, Michel van Maarseveen, Koen Ottenheym, Wim Pijbes, Dikkie Scipio, Sebastian vanDamme, Marnix Klooster, Simon Menges,Dominique Panhuysen, Bouke Wolbrink.
