Designed by <a href="https://www.hofmandujardin.nl/" target="_blank">HofmanDujardin</a> and <a href="https://schipperbosch.nl/" target="_blank">Schipper Bosch</a>, this Netherlands-based structure provides an expansive work experience for its tenants, playing off of the stark yet placid qualities of concrete throughout. Contrasting the grey material is the new timber staircase that connects the space's ground and basement levels.</p>
