We’ve recently received photos and documentation of the project Eneco Headquarter from Rotterdam, The Netherlands realized by Hofman Dujardin Architects, in collaboration with Fokkema&Partners. They have designed the interiors for Eneco’s headquarters building in Rotterdam according to its vision of sustainability: solar power, natural light and oxygen from internal vegetation. Matthew Brace: “The 14-floor, 25,000m2 office has been operational since April, with employees enjoying what must be one of the best workspaces in Europe. The heart of the building is a central atrium surrounded by a light-filled meeting centre with a reception space, meeting rooms, working areas, informal meeting areas, lounges, a restaurant, a service desk and an auditorium. Eneco’s new building is also the perfect example of how clever and efficient office design can offer employees the possibility to work flexibly in a dynamic, open, sustainable and healthy environment.”

Sun collectors on the south façade and on the roof track the sun throughout the day, absorbing the maximum amount of solar energy.
Reception
The working and meeting areas are designed to be energetic islands floating on an otherwise light-white terrazzo floor.
When arriving in the entrance hall, visitors are escorted by receptionists to one of the three Corian reception desks.
Espresso bar atrium
From the entrance, employees and visitors have a clear view of the centrally placed espresso bar.
From the entrance, you can take one of the three dramatic and inviting staircases to the first floor.
The diversity of colour and materials on the work islands are not only lively and inviting but they give the
different spaces specific identities and atmospheres that enable people to orientate themselves better in the office.
