EVBox is an international company with a mission to get the world to embrace electric transport and move toward zero emissions. With 600 employees in 13 countries—more than 350 of whom are based at the Amsterdam HQ—the company has grown rapidly over the past decade. As a result, it required a new internal approach to knowledge sharing and collaboration.

–

D/DOCK designed a dynamic office environment in the GoWest building in Amsterdam, where EVBox teams can work across three floors and gather in a variety of spaces. In line with this vision, MOSS designed the green elements throughout the building to reconnect people with nature in their daily work lives.

–

The integrated greenery includes an atrium greenhouse, a coupe garden, mezzanine planters and pots, green meeting rooms, and striking green walls and furniture. Altogether, it has become a vibrant, healthy office featuring abundant greenery, warm colors, diverse workspaces, and areas for recharging.

–

When Covid-19 hit during construction, the EVBox Amsterdam team re-designed the HQ to be future-proof. As a result, the first reactions after moving in were overwhelmingly positive. Job Karstens, Head of PR & Event Marketing, remarked: “It will be hard to decide where to spend my time between the many green areas, coffee bars, informal meeting places, phone booths, meditation space, and ping-pong room!”
