Koivistokade Office Building

Post covid, what is happening to office buildings and the workplaces within them? Is the workplace working harder to pull in employees who now have the option to work from home? Are companies shifting to sharing spaces? The Koivistokade office building proposes a future ready work environment that can be tailored and changed over time. Designed as a flexible Open Building, the building can be easily adapted into housing with the evolving needs of the neighborhood. Every layer hosts a different office space with its own specific type of glass. The raw quality of space, high ceilings, full-height windows, large sunny terraces and green balconies with climbers that function as sun shading, contribute to a unique working environment. In Koivistokade we’ve designed a new landscape for the (city)office, applying our expertise in meanwhile tactics to reinvent how new multifunctional buildings in cities evolve. The load bearing structure is physically separated from the main compounds of the façade and the adjustable and demountable infill systems for installations, inner walls and façade infills. Koivistokade is a shift towards active, textured environments that change regularly and mould to fit their occupants.
