Transforming a Modern Workspace
The Garage, a Rijksmonument at Stadionplein in Amsterdam, was transformed by Rijnboutt into a multifunctional office building. The project included a new atria, a rooftop pavilion, and the reuse of its iconic ramp. We were responsible for the interior green.
a green, indoor street
We designed an indoor green environment along the building’s central ramp, turning it into a vibrant indoor green pathway. Integrated planters and hanging gardens create a natural juxtaposition to the sleek, futuristic aesthetic.
a Street Where Architecture Meets Nature
The vision behind The Garage was to preserve the character while giving it a new social function. By weaving greenery into this circulation space, we helped transform a piece of industrial heritage into a lively, human-centered environment.
intention in Every Detail
By repurposing an existing monument instead of demolishing, the project embodies circularity and adaptive reuse, demonstrating how historic buildings can be reactivated into green, future-proof spaces.
