Maastower

The construction of the 165 m tall Maastoren in Rotterdam (highest building to date) began in 2007 in what is called "Kop van Zuid", in the Maas river. The Maastower has two underground parking layers. The main entrance, the entrances to the parking garages, the logistics, a grand cafe, meeting rooms and a restaurant are all located on the ground and first floor. A ramp, which runs through the restaurant area and the entrance hall, allows access to the 10 parking layers for public parking above ground level. From the 12th floor, the office area starts, where the 12th floor acts as an archive and fitness area.

European Patent Office

The new headquarters of the European Patent Office (EPO) in The Hague has been one of the largest Dutch building projects of the past few years. Not only the size of the project was exceptional. The building has been delivered with a unique concept: the design has a dubbel facade which has an internal space (between the facades) of 8 meters.
Recently, the EPO building was awarded the international prize for "Best Tall Office Building"!
