A stylish surface finish was created with Evocryl. Specialist tradesman Robertino Leusink recoated the facade of the former school in white and a dark yellow tone. The result: a stylish building shell in the middle of Winterswijk.
-
Color accents with different paints: for the metal window frames, the specialist tradesmen opted for High Gloss Enamel in cream white, and for the wooden components, the Venti Enamel in dark green.
-
70 meters long and four meters high: the installation team covered an artistically designed “sea of flames” on steel panels with 2K-Aqua Silk Matt Enamel in transparent. This provides long-lasting protection for the surface.
-
Matt gloss grade also on the doors and door frames: Leusink and his team coated these with the 2K-Aqua Matt Enamel. They applied Topp 948 in white to the opposite wall surface.
-
A unique color palette for each hotel room: thanks to the ability of Superlux to take on any shade through tinting, the designers were not limited in their color choices. Each of the three coordinated color shades was complemented by additional interior details.
-
The Brillux all-rounder achieves homogeneous surfaces even with intensive color tones and grazing light. In addition to the colorful single-color surfaces, metallic effect colors such as Creativ Metallico 76 or Creativ Lucento 83 were used to create accents.

Visual breaks are part of the concept at the Oldschool Hotel in Winterswijk. Stately on the outside, extravagantly charming on the inside. While the listed facade has retained its classic appearance, project manager Robertino Leusink has transformed the interior of the former school into a trendy place-to-be.
Water-based 2K coatings for different applications
Robertino Leusink, owner of Aannemersbedrijf Leusink, developed the design concept together with Brillux. Various systems for different surfaces, long-lasting product quality and an elegant matt look gave the hotel its special appearance. Different dispersions and enamels were used depending on the area of application.
The defining wall surface made of steel panels, with coloring resembling a blue flame, became an eye-catcher in the entrance hall. Leusink and his team treated the surface with 2K-Aqua Silk Matt Enamel 2388 in transparent. The steel grid suspended above a 100-meter-long aquarium was also given a black silk matt paint finish. The painters coated the 20 door elements and frames with 2K-Aqua Matt Enamel 2390 to match.
Each hotel room has its own color palette with Superlux 3000
With Superlux 3000, Leusink pushed for design diversity. Each hotel room was given its own color combination to match the individual school theme. Three coordinated tones transformed each room into an individual color palette. The Leusink team finished selected surfaces with the metallic effect paints Creativ Metallico 76 or Creativ Lucento 83, among others.
The contrast on the outside: With a subtle dark yellow and white coating, they created a classic facade appearance. To achieve this, the painters used Evocryl 200 in Protect quality in white. The ornamental columns were given a dark yellow tone. The painting team painted the metal window frames and wooden components with Impredur High Gloss Enamel 840 and Impredur Venti Enamel 822 in cream white and dark green respectively as a color accent. “The Oldschool Hotel stands for absolute creativity,” emphasizes Leusink. “The value of the colors and products basically jumps out at the hotel guests.”
