realization
2007
A modern office building with an open, light, and pavilion-like atmosphere and extra-wide office bays with a minimum amount of columns. The building is situated at a strategic location at Schiphol-Centre with easy international access. The project will be realized in two stages and will eventually provide more than 38,000m² of office space and 850 parking places. A large part will be utilized by the Dutch head office of software giant Microsoft. The main structure comprises a series of longer and shorter office bays linked in a finger-joint configuration. Two subterranean storeys and the plinth of the building accommodate the parking facilities. The office floors allow a flexible layout and are mutually connected by large vides and representative staircases. An overhead space of no less than 2.90m gives a pleasant feeling of spaciousness. The façades are largely implemented in glass without vertical struts, allowing the incidence of much natural light. The vides, which are roofed over with skylights, also contribute to the abundance of daylight in the building.
