As a committed area developer, AM puts social challenges at the heart of their development process. This philosophy also had to be visible in their own office. MOSS was asked to come up with a design for the outdoor terrace of the AM Office where;

  • nature would become more visible from the inside
  • the connection was made between inside and outside
  • motivates personnel to spend more time on the terrace
  • create different functions

– 

It was decided to create small ‘squares’ surrounded by greenery. Where possible, as much of the existing materials could be reused.

–

The different squares offer different destinations: Adult games area (table football, ping-pong, and jeux des boules), lunch/drinks, workplaces, and meeting rooms.

–

With regard to the landscape, we had to take into account several requirements: Weight, wind and parts that are often in the shade. These are combined with the desire to work with indigenous plants, plants for biodiversity, edible plants, and year-round green plants that together provide a beautiful shrub in both summer and winter.
