[Merkx+Girod] Vivaldi Tower interior

Vivaldi Tower interior by Merkx+Girod

 

Ernst & Young Amsterdam

 

Interior design for the new office building of Ernst&Young designed by Foster Architects, located at the Zuidas in Amsterdam.

 

The architecture of the 26.000 square metre, 22 storey-high building is very clear and straightforward in reaction to which Merkx+Girod designed a ‘softer’ layer for the entire interior.

Special attention was hereby given to the spatial relations and qualities of the different areas and the use of materials, colour, three dimensionality, decoration and graphics.

 

The ground floor and first floor area contain the entrance and lobby, informal ‘living room’ with coffee bar and lounge, self service restaurant, bar, auditorium, general meeting rooms, library, newsroom and fitness facilities.

 

Floors 3-20 contain the employees and partner offices as well as corridors, general areas, pantrys and communal meeting spaces.

 

The 21st floor houses staff meeting rooms, video conference rooms and the executive boardroom.
