Advice, delivery and realization interior:

Andreu World has completed the furnishing of the new offices for AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical company located in Amsterdam. The international pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca wanted to move into the WTC The Hague in a very short time. Their ambitions for the new work environment were high, so that there was an enormous challenge in terms of both design and planning. Thanks to good professional cooperation with all the Design & Furniture teams, we succeeded in realizing this high-end design on time. The client required that the architecture must be focused on the well-being of the employees, attending many areas of the ways of work. For this, the concept of wellness has been applied all along the project, at the work areas, focus rooms, informal meetings, phone booths and even at the library. Challenges had to be overcome, as the building’s architecture, all the infrastructure diverged from the big corporative constructions. Acoustic treatment and furnishing have been used to bring a whole new sensorial experience. Grandstand, conventional refectory tables, and casual furnishing creates a space that can be used from a simple coffee break or even a meeting with the whole team. As workplace wellbeing and sustainability becomes increasingly strategic, this global certification has become the leading measure of success. This office is a good example of this. The spatial concept of this corporate office, starts from the roots and the identity of the company. The majority of the entire workspace is directly connected to outdoor views and biophilia, in order to respect the standards of the LEED and WELL certification. the furniture selection has been key, in order to provide wellness and sustainability to the workplace. For this reason, the Raglan modular sofas were chosen for the common areas, the Alya armchair for the meeting rooms together with the Alya and Nub collections for relaxing moments, as well as the Reverse tables for cafeteria and meeting areas. www.andreuworld.com/projects/astrazeneca
