inauguration of 'tuynhuis gabrielle' during opening garden season

At Tinker, we not only design narrative spaces, we often develop the underlying concepts as well. As a strategic partner of De Haar Castle in the Netherlands, we created a conceptual masterplan to enhance their visitor experience. Together with the castle, we are further developing and implementing it, one part at a time.
One of the steps is a new hospitality concept. Designed to reflect the unique atmosphere of the castle, it completes the visitor journey, making guests feel like the castle's guests of today.
A key part opened on Friday 28 March: Tuynhuis Gabrielle (formerly an aviary), with Gabrielle as its inspiration and figurehead. It was officially inaugurated by Vanessa, Baroness Van Zuylen van Nijevelt. A wonderful milestone in the ongoing invigoration of this remarkable place.
Proud to keep shaping the future of this iconic site. Our collaboration has already introduced several immersive elements, such as animated storytelling throughout the rooms and the newly revamped pavilion. And there's more to come: we're currently working on a dedicated children's layer.
