It was a similar approach that informed Studio Piet Boon’s plans for this Dutch office. The iconic design studio took inspiration from the barn-like structures that could be found on the rural land surrounding the development, and gave the simple, spacious structure a contemporary treatment. Designing a visually-arresting, single-story office that comprised two typologies — one comprising two, pitched roof-structures with thick brick walls lined with dark wooden slats, the other offering simple brick ‘boxes’ with flat roofs — the team at Studio Piet Boon focused on creating a comfortable, casual, residential vibe, going in an entirely different direction from the formal office environment of old.
