Vanderlande Office Expansion

Employees can use the central area to work together actively and exchange ideas. The building layout and spatial concept provides them with free, open spaces. Direct links to the outdoors encourage movement. The architecture of the office campus constitutes a direct antithesis to the increasing rationalisation of work by deliberately focusing on human emotion. Schrammen Architekten BDA was awarded the Gewerbearchitekturpreis (prize for commercial architecture) for the first section of the building in 2000.

For Vanderlande, Schrammen Architekten is building a spacious office campus for members of the digital workforce. It will feature meeting points, chillout zones, think tanks, cafés and conference rooms. Vanderlande is adding a new, two-storey building to the existing office block. Parts of the existing structure are being modified and expanded. An open-plan office structure merges desks with communication zones, break rooms and rest areas. The desk areas are arranged in a strictly orthogonal pattern, which dissolves into free forms towards the centre. Employees can use the central area to work together actively and exchange ideas.
