a healthy office space for researchers into urban health

Three companies specialised in research within the field of well-being and health settle together in a grey office building in Amsterdam Zuidoost. The common narrative of the companies translates into a healthy office environment and as such is not only a message outside, but also a necessary request for the employees. Starting point for the design is the ‘public green’: a large green area in the office space with an abundance of plants for fresh air, a pleasant climate and nice view. This is originally also the place in villages where people meet; the zone also includes informal meeting spaces with swings, call booths, a reception desk and a pantry. The silent working places are grouped together around the green area. To mark the individual character of the companies, we introduce a graphic layer applied to glass walls of the meeting rooms and dividing walls with each having its own characteristic colour and distinction. Being flexible, it can change overtime when a company shrinks or grows.
