Venice 15th of May 2015, Tjep. wins the International Yacht & Aviation Award in the category retail and leisure with the design of House of Tulips. House of Tulips is an innovative flower retail concept at the heart of Schiphol Airport operated by Aviflora. House of Tulips was recognised as the winning project out of more than 5000 votes from professionals and from the general public.
Tjep. would like to thank everybody who voted and everybody who made the project possible.
The International Yacht & Aviation Awards are initiated and hosted by design et al, a leading UK interior design magazine.
About House of Tulips:
Tjep. was specifically selected to design a prominent area of Schiphol Airport, in Amsterdam. The Area, lounge 3 features a restaurant (Bread), cheese counter (Say Cheese) and a flower shop (House of Tulips).
As a surprising and innovative flower shop, the prominent green design incorporates two Dutch icons: a typical Amsterdam town-house façade and a greenhouse. Every morning a hydraulic system lifts up the house, creating the sunny atmosphere of a flower market underneath.
The new plaza is a leading and inspiring space with an atmosphere that has a strong link with The Netherlands. This important landmark allows for a unique experience for passengers at Schiphol Airport.
