2015-01-20 NEXT hotspot for creative industry

Having been vacant for 11 years, the former IBM premises in Rieker Business Park in Amsterdam seemed unsuitable for redevelopment. But now it has been given a new life as a hotspot for start-ups and companies from the creative sector. To this end, the building has been designed like a city, with streets, squares, amenities, and hospitality establishments. Within this framework, the building’s tenants dynamically contribute to the development of the city by way of their workspaces. For these users, the building is much more than just a workplace; it is an ecosystem characterized by interaction and discovery.

This vision for the building is reinforced by its distinctive, industrial look and feel, and by the reuse of materials. One of the main features is the new entrance, which has transformed the forecourt into a space for interaction and exchange. Restaurant Bureau on the roof is surrounded by a green roof park, with a vegetable garden and old cars which serve as meeting places.

B.Amsterdam has been nominated for the Geurt Brinkgrevebokaal 2016 and the NRP Gulden Feniks award 2017.
