Located in Amsterdam-Noord on Asterweg, Max & Moore are two buildings that form a unified whole. Linked by a pergola bridge and surrounded by lush greenery, they redefine the concept of sustainable and healthy workspaces. More than just an office complex, this is a dynamic environment where nature and design seamlessly work together.

Max & Moore were built on the belief that the future of work extends beyond four walls and a desk. Double-height winter gardens, rooftop terraces, and green patios create an environment that inspires, connects, and adapts to the rhythm of the seasons. Set within a park-like landscape, the buildings offer inviting outdoor seating and a spacious public restaurant (500 m²), softening the transition between work and city life. Their unique location along the waters of the Tolhuiskanaal further enhances the connection to nature. Max & Moore play a key role in transforming this former industrial area into a forward-thinking, circular urban district.
Max & Moore is more than just a workplace—it’s a blueprint for a sustainable city where architecture and nature coexist in harmony. The energy-neutral design (EPC = 0) has earned a BREEAM Excellent certification, featuring innovative PV cells seamlessly embedded in the façade. A thermal energy storage (TES) system taps into ground energy for heating and cooling, while an advanced ventilation system ensures fresh air and enhances well-being. But the impact extends beyond technology. By reusing materials from the previous buildings, the site’s history becomes the foundation for its future. Before redevelopment, the space also hosted the pop-up venue Oumuamua, an initiative by Space Encounters. With a design that encourages biodiversity and social interaction, Max & Moore isn’t just reshaping the city—it’s creating a healthier environment for its people.
