Holla Advocaten is an old acquaintance of us. In ’17 we’ve designed and realised the interior of their office in Den Bosch. This time we were asked to design their location in Eindhoven. This concerns a new office in Eindhoven where Holla Advocaten is going to settle. The interior that we’ve designed for their office in Den Bosch was our guideline. From our architects-café - a brainstorm-session between our customers and our architects -  the following keywords emerged: "modest, stylish and warm."   During the design process, we’ve paid a lot of attention to the routing in the Eindhoven office. This resulted in a logical layout whereby the liveliness takes place at the entrance and, as people move... More

The Simmons & Simmons office no longer fulfilled the purpose for which it was intended. After considering various scenarios, the decision was taken to reduce the office space by about 10% (from 5,000 m2 to 4,540 m2) and fit out the entire office with a new interior to prepare it for the future. DZAP designed the new interior, managed the project and carried out the renovation. Throughout the renovation Simmons & Simmons continued to work in the office. To minimise disruptions for the employees and complete the project as quickly as possible, we drew up an efficient plan for a phased move, with an overflow area to be used as a swing space. This kept the number of moves required to a minimum. We were also able to largely pre... More

Usabilla’s new office is a hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam’s city center. Recently, different departments have moved into the space to stimulate collaboration. Besides improving interaction between teams, the office also needed to be ‘a fun place.’ The resulting design is an office with a high degree of transparency, offering diverse workplace settings. These range from various types of meeting rooms, phone booths to focus rooms. Break-out areas, equipped with games and sports equipment, create a distraction from the daily routines and allow for recreation and relaxation in order to re-energize. The office space is bright due to the amount of glass and the central atrium with skylight. The roof terrace overlooks the city... More

For the premium men’s fashion brand WAHTS we have created a concept and interior design for their Brand Store in Amsterdam. WAHTS stands for We Are Here To Stay so the design might be quite iconic. So far the clothing has only been sold online, now the time was right for a real store that would support the concept.The clothing of WAHTS follow the rules of comfort and style and merge luxury menswear and contemporary sportswear into comfortable men’s fashion. The interior should support this image. By keeping the layout spacious and well-arranged, clothing and accessories receive all the attention they need. With a sober use of white, gray and black colors, it all became an unit with graphical elements which give podium to all the WAHTS items... More

The renowned law firm Hogan Lovells has opted for the Zuidas in Amsterdam. In the brand new ‘Noordtoren’ of the Atrium complex they moved into the 7th, 8th and 9th floor. A deliberate choice to switch from the center of Amsterdam to the Zuidas where their current and potential clients, their peers and other relevant and important business relations are located.It has been a pleasure for us to create an interior with international allure. An interior that breathes the ‘DNA’ and the identity of Hogan Lovells with an inviting entrance, good communication and a well-considered balance between private rooms and open workplaces.Striking is the special designed staircase that connects the 3 floors and makes the intern traffic a lot easier. With it... More

Due to growth, Fontem Ventures moved to a new office on the 8th floor of Radarport in Amsterdam. They asked us if we could create a new office interior that will fit the international character of the company and could offer all employees (17 different nationalities) a pleasant working environment.To create the right sphere for the international and dynamic Fontem Ventures we introduced a homey interior combined with catchy colors. The formal and informal rooms were spread in such a way they won’t bother each other and noise nuisance will be kept to a minimum. To enforce the homey look and feel of the office warm colors and materials were combined with eye-catching accessories and plants. To straighten the inner lines of the building the co... More

Cushman & Wakefield expanded its Dutch headquarters in Amsterdam. In addition to the 1st and 2nd floor they also acquired the 19th and 20th floor of the UN Studio on the Zuidas in Amsterdam. As we previously designed the first two floors we were now invited to create a contemporary interior for the two top floors. Starting point was -where possible- maintain and reuse the existing lay out and materials so all floors breathe the same Cushman & Wakefield sphere.The 20th floor is labeled as a social hotspot, a multifunctional work-café. Thé place where people meet for lunch, have a coffee, gather for meetings and have their Friday afternoon drinks. It is the same floor where Cushman & Wakefield welcomes her customers. The specially... More

When Bureau Brandeis, a renowned law firm, was moving into a new location on Sophialaan in Amsterdam South, they were looking for a new interior that would on the one hand stand out as a spectacular office space and on the other respect and accentuate the classic features of the building. The solution: ‘themed rooms’ – like a music room, garden room, sitting room – that with a sleek look and playful details harken back to the classic villas of days gone by. More

Haag Wonen, one of the larger housing cooperatives in The Hague, was relocating from two locations to one new office. The new office had to combine two functions: a semi-secure public space to meet with clients, and a separate office space with workspaces. For both, DZAP gave a homey feel to the interior in the styling and furniture, as a nod to the tenants of Haag Wonen. And the clients of Haag Wonen are also visible in photos throughout the building. The ‘Homemaker’, the building’s charming working café, might just be the place to find the sales staff who had to ‘pop back to the office’. More

We’re growing. That’s something we’re doing all the time, and that’s good news. And it has consequences on our offices: at a certain point, we had pushed our space to the limit and we had to find a new solution. After a fruitless search that included viewing a number of different locations, one of our neighbours moved out and the solution dropped into our lap: we could expand our current offices.The biggest challenge was making the expansion organically blend with the existing office, while at the same time creating an entirely new version of the old. The office had to be an example of the integration of styles and materials, it had to be a world of experience in itself. With outstandingly equipped workstations, a surprising variety of spac...

The new offices were given the ‘Yellowtail touch’ in accents like the house style yellow. Values like innovative, stylish, warm, flexible, fresh, inviting and fun were the starting point for the design. One stunning detail is the herringbone parquet floor that transitions seamlessly into the carpet, with a similar herringbone motif. More
