Old Town Hall Harderwijk

MIR architecten and Buro Mos preserved the historic structure of the building while adapting it to new cultural functions. The restored 1837 vestibule now serves as the central meeting point, featuring solid oak columns and subtly abstracted historical detailing that invite visitors to explore the building’s layered past. The 1727 council chamber was also carefully brought back to coherence, combining baroque character with museum-ready technical solutions. To support a wide range of public activities –from a tourist centre to a pop school – acoustic comfort was essential. Mute Flow PET Felt Acoustic Panels were introduced in rehearsal and music rooms, each space defined by its own colour, enhancing both sound quality and visual identity. The result is a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary use, making the town hall an inviting cultural destination once more.
