In a sprawling, park-like setting stands a brewery renowned for its cohesive architectural design, crafted by Broekbakema in 1975. Nearly fifty years later, the complex remains impressive, though the interior feels as if time has stood still.

The need to adapt to a modern working style prompted the brewery to undertake a significant renovation. The company restaurant, which still exuded a distinct 1970s vibe, was chosen as the ideal place to introduce changes in work processes, culture, and organizational structure.

 

The interior now allows for flexible use of space, with furniture that easily adapts to various situations. The stackable chairs and movable tables make it easy to accommodate large groups. A striking detail is the washbasin unit at the entrance and several tables that feature terrazzo tops made from recycled beer bottles. These details, along with the carefully selected colors and materials, embody the identity of this renowned Dutch beer brand, which produces an impressive 18 million hectoliters of beer annually at this location. Cheers!
