Connecting light atriums

In a multidisciplinary design team Studio PROTOTYPE and ArchiTech Company designed the building as a clear structure based on three connected atriums with a strong relation to the green surroundings.

The building in Zaanstad, with a surface area of approximately 7,650 m², is the first new building project for DV&O in the Netherlands – a unique achievement! The new building consists an office, conference functions, training rooms, practice rooms, space for material storage and a vehicle parking.

The various program components are easy to identify and interact with the natural surroundings straight in front of the atriums. The design focuses on blending nature with the building.

The façade’s parametric design and the bio-based wooden structure reflect the sustainability goals and give the building a unique identity as the new home for DV&O.
