Universe Government Office

sightlines & pivot points 

At first sight, the Universe Building seems rather compelling, with many corners and height differences. But there are certainly qualities to be found, such as the long sightlines and the semicircular, high space facing the courtyard garden. This space functions as a pivot point. It provides clear access to the other building parts, and also lends itself well to a restaurant function. The office floors in the building wings are given small pivot points. A handy adaptation handbook for the spatial layout of these floors makes it relatively easy for future users to anticipate changing workplace concepts and trends.

lush greenery 

Given the aim for a healthy working environment, daylight and greenery are important aspects of the Universe Building's new interior. The lush plants and trees in the inner garden and the adjacent, double-height restaurant area will form a visual whole. This bright, high space serves as the heart of the government office. On the ground floor, plants are also subtly used to show the way - they mark the route from the entrance to the inner garden, among other things - and to accentuate the points where routes intersect. The current technical installations in the courtyard garden will be removed.
