office interior in Barendrecht
desing
The supporting functions of the production hall and offices are housed in a long facility zone (the strip) in the east facade parallel to the A29. In this way the passers and passengers are able to see the liveliness and people working in a kind of showcase to the highway. Contact between the production hall and the employees is maximized by perforations inside the building.

assignment
The design of the interior is a part of the assignment for the new BUVA production hall and offices in Barendrecht.
The strip is designed as a plateau on which units are placed with separate functions, form and appearance. In the strip there is a restaurant with kitchen, a meeting room, a wardrobe, toilets and showers, a testing room and a presentation room housed. The units are separated from the facade and are finished with, stainless steel and polycarbonate cladding. The strip is located on the first floor of the building. Only the entrance with a reception and the stairs are on ground floor level. A void is the spatial connection between the strip and the facilities of the ground floor.
Because the testing room will be representative for clients, the room has a special appearance. Clients can be seated on a oak panelled podium and tribune, a wooden walk through the space which provides rest and unity.
