Welcome to "Building Experience," the column where we bring the construction, architecture, and interior of a building to life through words. We embark on a visual journey through a building and introduce you to the unique features that make it what it is—from classical palaces to modern skyscrapers. We discover what makes these buildings so special. Join us on this fascinating journey through the world of architecture and design.
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Along the A12 motorway near Veenendaal stands a gigantic hall of mirrors that will blow you away. This building houses several tenants, each with their own office. Today, we're taking a look inside the office of K+V, a connecting partner in interim management and recruitment & selection.
Anyone familiar with K+V's corporate identity knows they're entering the right office. The vibrant electric blue and orange of the logo are reflected in every detail of the interior. The iconic plus symbol in the logo is also frequently seen throughout the spaces. K+V's interior is its calling card!
Once inside the K+V office, you're overwhelmed by a sense of unity and tranquility. The interior, designed with meticulous attention to detail, exudes warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. The canteen is spacious and bright, and the cozy seating areas create a harmonious atmosphere. The kitchen has a real living room feel and, in terms of materials and colors, fits perfectly with the company's overall image.
K+V also uses wood, a feature found throughout every room. The unique room dividers, combined with glass, create an open space with appropriate privacy. The wood provides a welcoming look and a sustainable touch.
The office's meeting rooms are stylishly and elegantly designed, with large round tables that once again exude a sense of unity. Each table has a unique lamp above it, creating a unique atmosphere in each room.
The K+V office in Veenendaal is more than just a workplace; it's a place where employees can feel at home. The combination of a modern exterior and a warm and inviting interior creates a harmonious atmosphere where employees can perform at their best.
System Flex
In 2019, we were commissioned by Jellema Afbouw to carry out this wonderful project at K + V, an interim management and recruitment agency. Two different glass walls were installed at their Veenendaal office: the Flex Light 2.0 and the Flex Nature. The Flex Light 2.0 features a glass wall with invisible rubber seals, resulting in a sleek, beautiful finish. The Flex Nature consists of a glass wall made of custom-made oak profiles, truly bespoke.
To achieve the desired look within the office, HPL (high-pressure laminate) panels were applied to the Flex Nature glass wall. This is something normally only applied to doors, but we love a challenge! Because the HPL can only be applied on-site and has to be applied perfectly straight the first time, we made it a challenge for our installers. With a keen eye for detail and incredible precision, our installers managed to ensure a seamless finish, and we are naturally very proud of the final result.
