Building heaven is surely the highest achievement for a set builder. The setting for the film 'The Discovery of Heaven', based on the book of the same name by Harry Mulisch, has been one of our most special projects. The depiction of the sky was based on sketches by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720 – 1778).
The film was a British-Dutch co-production. The cast included: Stephen Fry, Greg Wise, Ellen Vogel and Marjolein Sligte. In addition to directing, Jeroen Krabbé also played a role and Edwin de Vries was responsible for the screenplay. The film went Platinum and Edwin de Vries received a Golden Calf for the best screenplay of 2002.
