Frits Philips Concert Hall located in Eindhoven was renovated by Niels van Eijk & Miriam van der Lubbe, collaborated with Philips Ambient Experience Design for exterior and interior design; and with Hypsos Soesterberg and Rapenburg Plaza for the lighting. The concert hall was transformed into a high-tech building with special concern in lighting, design, and technology. The lighting, for example, moved subtly from a high-tech wall and over the ceiling to led the guests from foyer to the hall. The main entrance of the new hall consisted of a forward-leaning glass façade in 25 meters wide and 13 meters high. Behind this entrance, there is a cultural city-foyer which opens throughout the day where peple can buy coffee and music, or just listening. The wall of the city-foyer would be consisting of thousands of LED lights, on where films, works of art and concerts would be projected. The content of the living walls realized by Gerard Hadders.
Not only the exterior and interior building design, van Eijk and van der Lubbe also designed all the details like furniture, the staff uniform and the crockery. The renovation of the concert hall was by contributions from the European Fund for Regional Development within the framework of OP-Zuid and contributions from the SRE Regional Fund, Brainport Development, Province Noord-Brabant and Gemeente Eindhoven.
