Heemskerk City Office
We proudly present the revamped interior for Heemskerk Municipality. With the ambition to bring together a large number of the municipality’s social partners under one roof, the new design of the town hall is a reality! Where separate reception desks or separate locations used to be the norm, one well-organised building has been created after the renovation, with a central network café as the heart of the building. The project focuses on connection and sustainability.
The design connects: the library, culture house and municipal office are now seamlessly connected on the ground floor, with the network café as the vibrant centrepiece. They even share one central desk. One house, one address.
On the first floor, the ‘living room’ connects the working environment of the municipality, providing space for collaboration, concentration and hybrid working. Activity-based and flexible!
Due to the changed way of working, the municipality is now concentrated on one floor, so the second floor now offers space for social partners.
Sustainability runs like a thread through the project: from reused glass walls and suspended ceilings to the preservation of bamboo floors and wooden ceilings. Much of the furniture has been refurbished, while remaining furniture has been given new uses inside and outside the building.
The Municipality of Heemskerk was voted best government organisation of the year 2024. Their new working environment made a great contribution to this.
