Project

Tafelberg office by Studio Massimo extends protected Dutch heathland over a bio-based workplace

The completed office is a rigorous example of architecture treated as habitat: its CLT structure, poplar-bark envelope, native planted roof, circular detailing and water-and-energy systems merit a technical project review beyond the building’s camouflage effect.

Location

Tafelberg heathland, Blaricum, North Holland, Netherlands
