We win the Maatwerk Award with Boekhandel Paagman

With Boekhandel Paagman at Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, we won the 2020 Baars & Bloemhoff Maatwerk Award in the Retail category.
A fine recognition for a project we thoroughly enjoyed working on: with Boekhandel Paagman at Westfield Mall of the Netherlands in Leidschendam, formerly Leidschenhage, we won the 2020 Baars & Bloemhoff Maatwerk Award in the Retail category.
For this project we were able to work out and realise the interior design by Aces of Space. A remarkable interior in which various materials, details and bespoke solutions come together.
Having already come through the Amsterdam regional final as winner, we took on the other finalists in the national final. Successfully: Paagman was named winner in the Retail category.
Naturally we are proud of that. Not only because of the award, but above all because it is a fine acknowledgement of the craftsmanship, care and energy we put into our projects together.
Did you know?
We have now built more than 8 shops in Westfield Mall of the Netherlands.
A fine result in a place where we now see quite a lot of our own work.

‘This feels like a family business’
Hemlock is not officially a family business. Yet according to our founders and directors August Jahangier and Peter Seegers, it often feels like one. In an extensive article they, together with several colleagues, talk about the way we work, the craftsmanship within Hemlock and above all the people who do it together every day.
Curious what we could realise for you?
We are happy to think along from design to realisation, with an eye for detail and execution.
