INNOVATIVE GREEN WORK ENVIRONMENT

For the BDO location in Amstelveen, BDO rents approximately 4,500 m² in the office complex ‘Commerce Parc Amstelveen,’ covering the ground floor and four additional floors. To enhance internal communication and transparency within the building, M+R designed an atrium with open stair connections that extend to the glass frontage of the building. The newly created open space is filled with abundant greenery (trees), contributing not only to openness but also to improving the building's atmosphere. The ground floor will feature a public function, including a dining-work café, a restaurant with 'front cooking,' and a coffee bar.

There are seating areas that offer space for meetings, work, and brainstorming, as well as meeting rooms. The entire space is flexible in its use and suitable for presentations, receptions, etc. The reception area of BDO has been relocated to the atrium, creating more space for meeting, receiving guests, and collaborating on the ground floor. On the first floor, there is the meeting center and a social area, easily accessible via the new inviting staircase.

The office floors are designed with the unique work concept developed by M+R specifically for BDO: a meandering landscape with work areas, collaboration spaces, quiet zones, meeting areas, etc. It is a proven concept that has already been successfully rolled out and replicated in several locations. Sustainability is always at the core of M+R's approach, and for this project, sustainable (biobased and C2C) products are used, with elements being repurposed.

For BDO, M+R has developed a new look & feel, color, and material concept for the coming years, based on the corporate identity of BDO International.
