In an ever-evolving media landscape, the people, activities, and functions of DPG Media are constantly in motion. Flexibility, well-being, and creativity are key pillars of the new accommodation. The result is a sustainable, iconic building set in greenery, designed to foster creativity and collaboration.
"With this project, we have prioritized sustainability, well-being, and innovation. Mediavaert truly represents the office of the future. Our hope is that large-scale hybrid timber construction will soon become the standard rather than the exception. This marks a significant step toward a Paris-proof built environment."
The 44,700 m² headquarters of DPG Media in the Netherlands is one of the largest hybrid timber buildings in the world. By utilizing timber-hybrid construction methods, the new building emphasizes the harmonious relationship between nature and technology.
Working and spending time in DPG Media’s new headquarters means being inspired by a healthy and welcoming environment. This bespoke workspace fosters synergy between a variety of users, functions, and activities. In addition to office spaces, newsrooms, and recording studios, the building features test labs, meeting rooms, sports facilities, restaurants, and an event space at the waterfront. Open spaces, voids, and outdoor areas enhance spatial awareness and encourage interaction among users. Greenery integrated into, on, and around the building creates a healthy, inspiring work environment and strengthens the connection to nature.
Located next to DPG Media’s existing printing facility at Joan Muyskenweg, the new building bridges the past and present. With its ambitious sustainability goals and focus on greenery, DPG Media’s new headquarters sets the standard for future developments in Amstel Business Park Zuid and beyond. In line with the Werkstad Overamstel vision, the area is rapidly transforming into a more mixed-use urban environment.
“It’s been fantastic to have the opportunity to design this sustainable hub for DPG Media. A versatile office headquarters building with a soft, fluent architecture that introduces a sustainable, green, post-industrial architectural language to the raw and developing context. Ambitious in program, scale and architecture, with an innovative timber construction.”
