- D/DOCK designed the DB55 offices and mixed-use space with an industrial feel and dynamic set up in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
- D/DOCK, a creative studio of thought leaders and design pioneers, introduces DB55, a former timber warehouse in the Houthavens Amsterdam, an industrial area surrounded by new offices and residential buildings. DB55 revolves around four main pillars.
- DB55 is a place for work, leisure, events, and sports, and even includes a children’s playground. In this blended venue, every square metre is used four times. For example: 1,100.0m² gets the value of 4,400.0m². For maximum flexibility, D/DOCK kept the free height of the building largely intact, avoided using screws or glue wherever possible, and placed plants and furniture on wheels.
- DB55 is a circular building where the supply determines the design. The floor finish comes from former trains and wooden planks that served as roof boarding for homes. The concrete and glass walls were recycled, and all of the lighting was obtained from overstocked products, run-outs, or re-furbished pieces. Tiling used in the sanitary areas was sourced from bankruptcy leftovers, and the audio-visual and kitchen equipment are all secondhand, as is 70% of the furniture.
- D/DOCK designed DB55 from the inside out, based on the users’ needs. Thus, they created facade openings where daylight and views are needed, different from where one would expect them to be based on the facade design. Connection with nature, sunlight, visibility, and people ensures an improved working environment and cross-pollination between the users of this blended venue.
- Designed from a biophilic perspective, D/DOCK created an organic building attuned to the human scale, enhancing the connection between nature and people. The lightweight roof, abundant daylight, and large glass entrance door allow for experiencing changing seasons and weather conditions. Moreover, the integral design of natural elements, such as lots of greenery, ecological materials, and natural shapes and tones, strengthens the connection with our natural environment.
