En mémoire de Karel Appel, peintre, sculpteur et poète hollandais membre fondateur du groupe Cobra, la Karel Appel House a ouvert ses portes à Amsterdam. S'inspirant du travail de l'artiste, l'agence d'architecture néerlandaise DUS Architects a réalisé un espace intérieur haut en couleur, tableau en trois dimensions, à la fois lieu de résidence d'artiste et espace d'exposition.















Sur la Karel Appel House,l'agence DUS Architects précise:

"Sunday the 25th of April 2010 the Karel Appel house was officially opened by COBRA artist Jan Sierhuis and Joop Appel, the brother of the late artist Karel Appel. The Karel Appel House which is located in the ‘Dapperbuurt’ honours Karel Appel, the famous artist who grew up in this Amsterdam neighbourhood.



The Karel Appel House is a short stay apartment facility for artist of the Rijksakademie and a yearly ‘minimuseum’ in collaboration with the renowned COBRA museum. DUS architects designed the interior for client De Key/Principaal. DUS was inspired by the working method of Appel, which is characterized by his phrase: I start from my matter – the paint and the canvas’. In a similar intuitive way, DUS designed an interior with 15 mm thin coloured steel walls. This resulted in a layered three-dimensional colour scheme, where there’s optimal room for living and exhibiting: A House of Canvas."
