“Micro Polis” is the new idea of a company headquarters, beyond what we know. It is an open Hub, a public place welcoming employees, partners, public, starters, scale-ups, students and children. It is the center of a new community and the source for digital transformation. This environment is in constant change where every area has a different style and atmosphere, it is a home away from home. The cutting edge of Microsofts technology is embedded in the building, which transforms the office into an intelligent environment which supports all the needs of the users connected.
The design is not based on a workplace per person, but on hybrid usage. Another special aspect is that 80% of the existing furniture has been reused in the new design.
MOTHER BOARD
The 1st floor is open to public, super intelligent environment, totally hybrid. It is a coworking lab and a place to connect with partners, customers and visitors. The Restaurant can optimize the stock and waste based on the amount of people present. The Lab is an area for education which is available for schools and institutions for independent activities. The Stage is a big theatre which can be rented for events. The 5D HoloDeck is digital transformation itself, a unique space showcasing the most immersive technologies.
THE HOME FLOORS
These floors are designed by the level of noisyness and quietness, from a busy Meet&Greet lounge to The Silent Lounge. A unique partnership with Spaces ensures coworking and engagement.
