Unique view
to the dynamic nature
of Schiphol
The project begins with the goal of creating a healthy and sustainable work environment, where the design focuses on the people. The project is designed in a dynamic fashion with a natural flow to invite people to the heart of the building.With the orientation of the atrium towards the sun, it allows the sunlight to reach deep inside the building. It includes a tribune and a green, enclosed space with seating and lounge areas, designed by MOSS Amsterdam. The atrium’s design mimics the feel of an intimate orchard courtyard, offering a spacious, open area with structured viewpoints. These points act as the eyes of the building and function as reception areas for the various tenants of The Grove.

The building’s exterior features a unique, transparent design that wraps around the curves of the building volume. This creates lively reflections and changing light effects, offering a dynamic view of Schiphol. The Grove is a sustainable building (BREEAM Excellent), equipped with SMART building technology systems and a structure made from cross-laminated timber. It will be a multi-tenant office space, offering around 10,400 m² of flexible floor area that can accommodate businesses of different sizes. The adjacent green public space is designed by Flux Landscape Architecture.
