Kraaijvanger

Museum Voorlinden was nominated for the Dutch Daylight Award 2018. The jury chose Voorlinden because of the daylight quality generated by the building.

Dirk Jan Postel from Kraaijvanger Architects designed Voorlinden according to groundbreaking principles that resulted in a building of exceptional aesthetics and a new perspective on technology and daylight application in museums. Visitors lyrically describe the effect of the light that is achieved by the special designed light roof.

Museum Voorlinden is a Dutch private museum for modern and contemporary art at the Landgoed Voorlinden in Wassenaar in Zuid-Holland. The art collection of Joop van Caldenborgh is known as the Caldic Collection, the largest private art collection in the Netherlands.

In addition to Museum Voorlinden, Musis Sacrum, Kipster, Headquarters a.s.r, Erasmus MC and Hotel Jakarta were among the nominees within the category > 1000 m2. In the other category, <1000m2 nominees are: Villa IJsselzicht, LandgoedLAB, House with Bed & Breakfast and Crematorium Zorgvlied.
