With its 'Third Place' concept, Denizen offers both businesses and the neighbourhood access to space, services and community. In three separate premises, Modiste Studio has created a co-working, event and meeting space, a deli and a self-care unit with a workshop area, showers and changing rooms. All spaces are kept light and airy, not only with mix-and-match furnishings but also with custom-made furniture and wall panelling in contrasting ash and cherry wood, combined with glass blocks. The deli consists of a linoleum-clad ensemble of functional, bespoke furniture. The self-care unit is kept very neutral, with textured curtains for spatial separation.​

Since I joined the project during the final execution phase, I was mainly involved in technical detail planning, site supervision and communication with clients and contractors.
