We radically transformed a former garage building in Amsterdam to be our new headquarters, aiming for the highest possible standards in terms of sustainability and health. Retaining the character of the building was a priority. The design is open – The Core has few internal partitions – and there are four zones: the Workshop, the Client Lab, the Library and the Cafe. The internal design of the new office promotes and facilitates collaboration and gives entrepreneurship ample space to flourish.
The Workshop is a lively place that’s full of energy and activity. Large project tables and individual workplaces are separated from each other by green plants. Northern light sheds through the authentic windows of the former garage roof. Most of the technique in this space is put away at the sides, to keep the roof free.
The Client Lab facilitates cocreation with clients. Light colours are used to create a lab feeling. The walls are flexible. Various settings can be made here, according to the needs of different meetings and events.
In the Library people can focus. Natural materials and colours are used, creating a peaceful ambience that stimulates focus and deep work.
And finally everything comes together in the Cafe. Here colleagues and clients find each other for meetings and collaboration in an informal setting with good, healthy catering.
