Well methodology

We were guided by user needs when we developed this iconic building. The WELL methodology served as a guideline in this. This methodology focuses specifically on the health and well-being of the users of the building. Research has taught us that it pays to create a good working environment because it promotes the creativity and productivity of users and helps to reduce absenteeism. That is why the emphasis is fully on atmosphere, experience and comfort.

Materials from nature

Everywhere you look, you see timber. The building shell is the finishing touch. This natural material offers high thermal comfort and dampens the sound. The look of timber gives us a pleasant feeling too. Compare it to a walk in a forest. We simply just feel comfortable in a natural environment, which allows to concentrate better and benefits creativity and productivity.

In green

The Future Level is situated in a special location at the border of the Sonse Heath and the Wilhelmina Canal. All around the building, users have beautiful views of the greenery that changes with the seasons. The outdoor terraces of the living level are a green meeting place and also offer views of the nature reserve and the green slope of the A50. The green roofs and the planting in the building provide you with an even greater ‘outdoor’ experience.

Pleasant indoor climate

The building maintains a comfortable climate through the use of underfloor heating so that flexibility in the room layout is also guaranteed in the future. A balanced ventilation system ensures that there is sufficient fresh air. Furthermore, the windows can be opened if the user wishes to do so. The building is sustainably heated and cooled with a heat and cold generator (heat pumps)

Day light

The facades were designed with a very open structure to allow for large amounts of daylight to come into the building. This makes for a pleasant experience of the working spaces. Sun blinds make sure that it does not get too hot, and by varying the size of the windows there is sufficient privacy. The LED lighting used switches on and off automatically and adapts to the lighting requirements.
