Verkerk is heading the Interior Architecture and Furniture Design department of the KABK in The Hague.

Colophon

Guus Beumer and Herman Verkerk would like to thank Maureen Mooren for the graphic design of this website. By the way; the typeface of this site is developed by Theetat Thunkijjanukij and named ‘Sleep by Day’. It is a so called revival typeface, which stems from the 1920’s and was used to subtitle silent movies. They like to extend their thanks to Bram van den Berg for his technical contributions and overall knowledge of the digital realm. They also like to express their gratitude to Johannes Schwartz for his great pictures of both the interior and the exterior of House Belsito. Finally they wish to acknowledge the contributions of Roberta di Cosmo and Marco Napolitana and thank them.

And last but not least, we would like to thank Michel Trompert and Van Ruysdael for making it possible to use the wonderful glass they developed; now we only have one layer of glass in the new frames, which means less material and transport, but with great insulating qualities! And it can also withstand the pressure of the winds coming from the valley.
