New Garden, 2026
The New Garden has been part of the outdoor space of the Nieuwe Instituut since 2015. It is used as a testing ground for ecological management and biodiversity. It’s also a public space.
Collection Gallery, 2026
An interactive, hybrid installation featuring wall-sized projections and mirrored panels. Physical objects, such as models and drawings, are the starting point of a digital journey of discovery through the Nieuwe Instituut’s architecture collection. Spatial design and interaction design by Space Popular.
Home-studio, 2026
In 2023, the Nieuwe Instituut acquired part of the office archive of the architectural firm Jo Coenen and Co. This year, the acquisition of Coenen’s private archive—located on a floor of his home in Maastricht—has begun with the process of appraisal and selection. The space is a hybrid of a study, documentation/archive room, library, home office, and meeting area.

New Store, 2025
In the New Store, we imagine the shop of the future: one that helps, rather than harms, the environment. New Store ultimately aims to be completely regenerative. The museum shop at the Nieuwe Instituut acts as a testing ground, bringing designers’ ideas and proposals into the real world. Together we explore what it means to design, produce and shop in a fully regenerative way.
