From warehouse to office. Elephant transformed a former warehouse into an ideal office environment on the Nieuwevaart, opposite the Maritime Museum in the historic centre of Amsterdam.
Amsterdam’s historical centre forms the backdrop of our reimagining of old architecture for future relevance. The area is home to a large office building that we transformed from a low-end to a high-end workspace that meets today’s requirements.
The colossal size of each glass plate (5.9 meters tall by 3.2 meters wide) creates a monumental scale in line with the historical surroundings. The conclave glass eliminates the need for steel profiles, which expands the views outside.
