Using bright colors and elements, multidisciplinary practice Studio Noun، led by Sandra Keja Planken,
transformed an industrial office building in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, called the Amsterdam Office.
Design Features
The 650 square meter area was set up for a technology company, called CVMaker, in Amsterdam.
It contains a mix of open spaces and workspaces, with meeting rooms, bar and play areas,
stretching area, gymnasium, open plan communal, and event rooms that can be used for events and conferences.
Project Description
The interiors appear as a funky, abstract space mixed with waves of furry fleece and colorful artistic interiors.
Sandra Keja Planken, whose business revolves around man, nature and human nature,
transformed the existing office building by preserving the corporate identity.
She has translated the company’s values while expanding the space,
into a design that exudes maximum abstraction and a sense of bold modernity.
Modernism with a twist of funky shapes has been exquisitely used
with splashes of color and new unfamiliar objects and craftsmanship from lots of leftovers or plant materials.
A dark blue color was chosen for the office walls, a deep blue sky was used to enhance the incoming light,
and special circular shapes and dark colors were more distinct elements of the space throughout the design process.
The rough walls and ceiling create a colorful contrast surrounded by a parquet floor,
while a yellow-green perimeter is used for the meeting area.
Besides, the designer added several acoustic tapestries made of eucalyptus filaments,
to the walls throughout the interior.

The team also developed a visual language for street art with icons and signage so that staff and guests can easily navigate through the venue.
The team added a neon feel to create an even more whimsical and whimsical feel,
added with a larger playroom for employees to enjoy.
Also, the designer should not move away from the general perception of how office spaces look today.
The space or object he’s creating isn’t just a single layer, it’s a layered scene with a mix of playful designs to give an inspiring feel.
The goal here is to bring all employees out of their tech world into a new experience every day,
says Sandra Keja Blankin, founder of Studio Noun.
Colorful office interiors are becoming more and more popular and a rising trend,
and this particular space was created in less than six months with plenty of custom items from designers.
