Open and sustainable workplace

An open and sustainable workplace in the heart of Utrecht.

Office Utrecht, the Netherlands

In the city centre of Utrecht, VOID interieurarchitectuur and Cerius Projects created a flexible and comfortable workplace that brings multiple functions together within one compact layout. The result is an adaptable environment that supports focused work, collaboration and social interaction throughout the day.

One space with many functions

Located on St. Jacobsstraat, the workspace is organised in two rings. At its centre lies an enclosed meeting area for private discussions and consultations. Surrounding this core, the first ring hosts the working zones, where Hale PET Felt Stack Chairs support different workflows and contribute to acoustic comfort. Along the outer facade, breakout areas benefit from abundant daylight and space for informal meetings. Here, Nook PET Felt Lounge Chairs and MG 3 Side Tables create inviting corners for conversation or quick breaks. The large pantry and lunch area can transform into an auditorium for 60 people; with an acoustic curtain and stackable seating, the room adapts easily to presentations or events.

Well-being and sustainability at the core

Well-being and sustainability guided every design decision. Much of the existing furniture was refurbished and reused, while new additions were chosen for their local production and responsible material use. PET Felt elements help maintain acoustic balance, supported by workplace lighting solutions such as AK 1 and AK 2 Workplace Dividers that improve visual comfort in focused areas. Together with generous daylight, enhanced air quality and active employee involvement in the design process, the result is a balanced and future-proof workplace that aligns naturally with its users’ needs.
