The design for the ABN AMRO Pavilion is unique in the Netherlands: designing the first practical example of a sustainable and circular building. The main idea of the circular design is that it makes the least possible impact: waste-free and resilient, always taking into account the recyclability of the materials used.

The building has a large glass front façade that opens up to the plaza. The stairs lead to a public place where both passers-by and employees can meet. The roof is covered with grass, and thereby contribute to biodiversity. It is an attractive, public place to get some fresh air during the break. Inside the building there is more than 2000m2 of meeting and work space, but there is also a space for the so-called ‘living lab’. A space where the latest innovations, can be applied and tested. A part of the facade is made, for example, suitable for the application of new materials, so that it can be examined if there are more durable applications. The Delft University of Technology is involved from the beginning in the project and will remain in the ‘living lab’ to monitor the experiments and expand. In this way, the theory is continuously tested in practice.
