Office design: the latest trends in workspace architecture

“and the façade’s stripes – the effect is dazzling, but it’s also radical in its simplicity and highly detailed and elegant in its execution”

A new spring A new place.

For Plantagelab @ WOW-Amsterdam we designed this clubhouse together with Kees van Ruyven. We were thrilled by the energy here and their green urban initiatives, so one thing led to another and we moved our office. Last Saturday was a super spring kick-off by seeding the urban farming surrounding the clubhouse.

Check out the pictures by Eric Haas:

Celebrating, and toasting with minister Plasterk, at the British School of Amsterdam. They have finally, after a search of many years, acquired the lease of the land at the Haarlemmermeerplein with the old prison, to build a new school to accommodate all three of their departments now still scattered over Amsterdam South.
MMX provided a crucial analysis that researched the possibilities of turning the monumental 19th century prison into a great and inspiring environment for children of all ages.
Yes, we are really proud!

Zelfs niet eens genomineerd…hoe durven ze! Het zal wel zijn geweest dat men dacht dat Wim T Schippers achter het ontwerp zat. Maar niemand minder dan Jord Den Hollander was het die in de zomer bij ons binnen kwam stormen met zijn idee voor de Ontwerpwedstrijd Belgenmonument. Met veel plezier hebben we een kleurrijk en dubbelzinnig ontwerp afgeleverd. We feliciteren Matthijs la Roi voor zijn winnende ontwerp "Museum voor Gastvrijheid"

Onze nominatie voor Botel... Helaas niet verzilverd met de gouden AAP. Die ging naar het Noorderparkbad, van collega Branimir Medic, terechte winnaar trouwens!

Het Noorderparkbad is de winnaar van de Amsterdamse Architectuurprijs 2016. Vak- en publieksjury waren eensgezind.
