Nestled within the confines of a circular structure, The Studio proudly occupies the former gymnasium of the Netherlands Marine Corps. An unwavering commitment to sustainability permeates every aspect of its renovation as the facets of circularity influence the architecture, functionality, and structural execution. To exemplify this ethos, the current office spaces are complete with furniture crafted entirely from recycled materials. This ethos extends to the repurposing of the old gymnasium too. The once-utilitarian emergency lighting fixtures have now found a new purpose in a local mosque, and modular ceilings have been repurposed in schools and offices, breathing fresh life into their spaces. The old frames and doors now grace the halls of Amsterdam University of the Arts, while the retired gym equipment finds a new purpose at Codam Coding College. Completing this eco-conscious haven, a 100% recyclable floor and pay-per-use lighting systems harmoniously coexist.
