Many of the interior walls were also created using pre-cast concrete components.

An Outstanding Reception Area

The protruding ceiling above the reception area was constructed as a single pre-cast exposed concrete component, one feature that gives this designer office building its robust, vibrant appearance.

Welcome to the Jungle

The challenge of this project was realizing a building almost exclusively out of concrete while ensuring that the design didn’t become cold and lifeless. The solution came in the form of plenty of greenery inside the building, and a vertical garden designed by Patrick Blanc.

Renewable Heat from Underground

For the client, it was vital that a building of this size was heated as sustainably as possible. Drill holes underneath the second underground car park enable the use of geothermal energy drawn from underground, which is used to heat the entire office renewably.

In addition, the concept is continued with the atrium benches in the atrium and the elements in the small courtyard – all made of pre-cast exposed concrete. A surface that is ideal for graffiti art.
