Office Design, Rotterdam Post Office in 2012 by UNStudio

This is an extremely fabulous structure of Rotterdam Post Office redevelopment design that was designed by Architects of UNStudio. This building is approximately 44.000 m2 in surface. This is surely going to be a historical monument in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This monument will include a vertical entrance and a 100m high tower featuring a luxury hotel with several facilities such as conferences, offices, cafes, bars, restaurants, and retail facilities etc. The project will most probably end by the year 2012 and creates a sustainable development which integrates a ‘Green Shopping’ experience for people and also offers a new urban look for the city.



























Official words from UNStudio :

The design for the redevelopment of Post Rotterdam incorporates an ambitious mixed-use concept devised to respond to and enhance the original qualities of the existing building. Upscale retail facilities, restaurants, cafés and bars are combined with a luxury hotel, which in addition houses conference facilities and offices.



























The design for Post Rotterdam incorporates an urban landscape, a vertical foyer, the redesign of the large central hall and the new hotel. These combined elements form a design approach which is sensitive to the existing monument’s qualities, while generating a synergetic architectural effect.



























The mix of architectural presence and transparency is designed to emphasize and frame the entrance to the building. The post-war roof is replaced with a new glass construction, allowing daylight to penetrate the building and forming a connection between the new hotel and the existing monument.




















The extension to the shopping street functions as a public platform, offering open spaces with flexible layouts, capable of housing a variety of functions; from exhibitions to performances, concerts and fashion shows.

The programmatic and infrastructural elements create a sustainable development which incorporates a ‘green shopping’ experience and aims to provide a new urban destination for the city center of Rotterdam.

Agencydotcom Interior Office Space by Sanders Architects

An interior office design by Sanders Architect for a dotcom website design firm ( Agency.com )that located in a North Beach industiral warehouse. Floor area of this project is 500sf and the cost took $20/sf

In three locations, Sander Architects created specific undulating glass-walled enclosures to encourage places of semi-separation and privacy. Made from Linit "U-Glass", these walls flex and curve in plan to accommodate the conditions in their immediate environment: entry and exit, and common area.




























The firm developed our own system of stabilization and anchoring to enable the walls to curve as we wished. These anchors were made from the simplest possible materials: threaded rods, nuts, neoprene washer. New flooring tiles, composed of recylcled tires - a favorite eco-friendly product normally found in children's playgrounds - were also installed in these select areas. Simple to erect, the project was completed on time and under budget.
