Building Experience: Briggs Utrecht – Where work and life merge

Welcome to "Building Experience," the column where we bring architecture and interior design to life. Today, we'll take you to the impressive Briggs on Van Deventerlaan in Utrecht. Located in the bustling Papendorp neighborhood, this building stands out not only for its size but especially for its unique shape, reminiscent of a rocket launch site. A fitting nod to the startups that launch their businesses here.

The Social Heart: Your living room 2.0

Upon entering, you'll immediately experience a warm, professional atmosphere. The central entrance, the "Social Heart," functions as a luxurious living room. With Scandinavian design, rich materials, and gigantic trees integrated into the lounge area, this space offers an airy and inviting atmosphere. It's the ideal place to welcome clients or simply escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Playful architecture and modern facilities

At the heart of the lobby is an architectural staircase that serves as a grandstand. Here, you can enjoy a barista-made coffee overlooking the bustling hall. The adjacent meeting rooms are equipped with the latest technology, yet maintain a homey atmosphere with trendy wallpaper, organic rugs, and even a ping-pong table for relaxation.

Living and working without borders

Briggs offers everything you need for daily life: from a Grab & Go bar and a live-cooking restaurant to an in-house gym. The building is accessible 24/7, making it a perfect fit for the modern, flexible entrepreneur. At Briggs, the sky's the limit.

Technical precision through System Flex

Commissioned by Ditt Officemakers, System Flex handled the finishing work on several floors. Our Flex Light and Flex Stud walls were used, combined with characteristic vintage frame doors. The concealed Rockfon ceiling in the entrance posed a significant challenge; the slanted walls and the trees protruding through the ceiling required extreme precision to achieve a visually sleek result.
