Where do you go when you want to get things done? Curiously “at the office” is not among the top 5 answers. That was the reason for activation agency BrandBase to develop its new office as a hotel. With a lobby, a large open kitchen and a bar.
The hotel is not the first noteworthy BrandBase office. The agency trades its well-known Pallet Project office, designed with 274 pallets, for this hotel at the Danzigerkade.
Hotel concept
Ask people where they go to get work done and answers will be diverse. Curiously ‘at the office’ is not a common answer. Research shows that people find a train, or a hotel lobby ideal to dig into their work.
These results inspired activation agency BrandBase to change their approach for the design of their new office completely. The outcome: a hotel that closely fits the BrandBase philosophy of ‘we make people smile’.
Besides their regular workplace, BrandBase employees get work done in the lobby, a large open kitchen or the bar. Changing concepts, such as the Lunch & Learn educational lunches or the Brand & Breakfast concept reviews with clients, keep the hotel lively.
Bricks Amsterdam的室内设计师James van der Velden设计这个酒店式办公室时，使用新材料打造出一个复古风格的内饰。
主管Marvin Pupping说：“继托盘项目之后，我们再一次希望在Danzigerbocht的总部办公室有一个更为独特的想法。我们也相信可以在这个非常棒的开敞办公空间里实现这个想法。新的办公室设计可以使每个人都有自己的地盘并也可以在其他任何一个地方完成他的工作，这个地方可以是在厨房、吧台、大厅，不久的将来我还可以去景色优美的露台。
Interior design
Interior designer at Bricks Amsterdam, James van der Velden balances the interior design of the hotel with vintage and new materials.
Director Marvin Pupping: “After the Pallet Project, we, again, wanted a unique idea for our new headquarters at the Danzigerbocht. We believe we achieved just that, with this wonderful open workspace. Everybody has his own spot and can use any other place to get things done. In the kitchen, the bar, the lobby and soon also our on roof terrace – with a breathtaking view.
我们的顾客和VEA, ADCN or JongeHonden这样的合作伙伴也将会在这个酒店式办公来完成他们的工作。我们非常高兴与他们一起分享我们这个让人充满激情与活力的工作空间。
Our clients too will use this hotel to get things done. And associations like VEA, ADCN or JongeHonden. We gladly share our inspiring workplaces with others.”
