Rocha Tombal as Architects

Aletta, Institute for Women's history by preserving history will inspire, increase knowledge about the position of women and encourage research in this area. Aletta wants to contribute to the empowerment and advancement of women. To achieve this ambition has been chosen to wear a visible location in the center of Amsterdam and a partnership with E-Quality, a research center for gender, family and diversity. In an existing office building is on the ground floor housed the library, on the second floor office with auditorium and in between the depot. The office is based on the new works.


Through empty office floor can be divided into several, ever shifting volumes with speaking and meeting rooms, workstations concentration, repro and archive, created each diagonal sight lines so that the depth of the property continues to experience. The spaces formed between them offer differentiated, but equivalent (flexible) workplaces where despite the open nature, quiet and concentrated work on. The ground floor is the business card of the organization.


The inviting red of the carpet, continued in the bookcases forms the backdrop where photos, illuminated objects and moving images arouse the curiosity of the passing public.
