The head office of construction group VolkerWessels is prominently located on the A28 in the Podium office park in Amersfoort. The starting point was to realise a highly sustainable office building in a super short time. The building was to function as a meeting place for a number of VolkerWessels work companies and, in addition to being inviting, also had to be recognisable. By starting an integral design process with the client, contractor, consultants and designer, the tasks were divided efficiently and smart solutions were created. This resulted in an above-average sustainable office building with a GPR score of 8 and an EPC value of 15% below the legal requirement. The façade is made of prefabricated vertical brick strips in a mottled ochre colour, alternating with vertical glass strips. The distinctive shape of the building is based on the archetypal house. Upon entering, the large void that extends to the boardroom on the top floor reveals itself. From here there is a beautiful view over the countryside. A continuous solid wooden staircase winds up through this void and connects the meeting places on each office floor.
