design
Knevel Architecten has designed a new office building with warehouse space for Nedelko and CTS Netherlands in a prominent location in Barendrecht. The project has a gross floor area of more than 6000 m².
 

The proposed building is constructed from a combination of two volumes: the warehouse section is on the Riga access road while the office section is orientated towards the motorway.

The entrance to the office is at a height of approximately 2.8 m and is level with a raised forecourt that reconnects with the surrounding ground level via the slightly sloping parking area. The spatial development of the forecourt continues via the entrance into the showroom. The showroom runs parallel to the motorway and consists of a series of platforms that increase in height and lead to meeting rooms on the first floor.

All the functional facilities such as stairs and lifts, toilets, pantries and cupboards have been grouped together in the so-called programme-based core. These form the backbone of the building both on the floor plans and on the sectional drawing. Movement across the floors takes place around the core. The office spaces and the showroom will allow a flexible layout.

Above the showroom, there are three floors of offices with boardrooms on the top floor. All functional facilities - vertical orientation, toilets, pantries en storage - are designed together in a programmatic core. This core is the backbone of the building, around which the horizontal movement will occur. This creates the opportunity for multiple layouts of the office floors and showroom.
