Glass Innovation Prize
10 years ago the InHolland University building in Delft was the recipient of the Glass Innovation Prize for the worlds thinnest double glass facade spanning four stories. A record it still holds. The structure is a carbon fiber tube and Aramide cable structure, where the structure is between the two sheets of the double glass. This was a fun innovation project with Ulrich Knaack and Mick Eekhout, and not to forget InHolland who, as the client let us do this....

Amvest featured in Wallpaper*!
We’re delighted that Wallpaper* thought our design of the Amvest headquarters was as eye-catching and ingenious as we do. It’s featured in the May issue.
Optimizing Floor Space at Amvest's Headquarters
Little-used lobbies and capacious elevators can take up a lot of square footage in an office building. At Amvest, we decided to combine elevator and lobby in one lushly furnished room which has stunning harbor views as it ascends to higher floors. #amvest #cruquius #elevatordesign #workplace #workplacedesign #amsterdam
A Fresh Take on Mullions at the Amvest HQ
The mullions on the facade of the Amvest headquarters in the new Cruquius development in Amsterdam are made of solid steel, not aluminum as is standard practice. Why? Because the floor of the second level is suspended from the facade! Not an easy feat. Harm Hoorn, the chief structural engineer at Zonneveld, must have had a few sleepless nights. But with his help, it's an elegant engineering solution for an open plan design. #Amvest #Cruquius #ZonneveldIngenieurs
Not a rendering any more! The Amvest office is open.
