With its dynamic, sculptural design, the new head office of the Atradius insurance bank is a conspicuous eye-catcher along Amsterdam’s Johan Huizingalaan. To break with the individuality-focused working atmosphere that is so characteristic of the world of insurance banking, the design is based on communication and human contact. ‘Space to meet one another’ was the theme on which the spatial organisation of the plan of requirements was based. Areas in which employees of different departments can meet one another are created by arranging a large number of voids - 11 in total – across the building in the form of green atria. These atria differ in shape and height and are intended to serve as municipal parks or tree-lined squares. The parks are connected via stairs, enabling people to follow an interesting route through the entire building. Superfluous parts of the basic volume - the rectangular box – have been ‘cut away’ to obtain a dynamic crystal shape. (OZ-P architects)
