Thomas Rau of RAU Architects and Odette Ex of Ex Interiors
have delivered a fully sustainable and circular office building for Triodos Bank and the developer Edge
The project has been awarded a 2021 International Architecture Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies
Dubbed the “wooden cathedral” the office is the first large-scale
100% wooden reconstructible office building.The new office is located on De Reehorst Estate in Zeist.De Reehorst is part of a series of rural areas in Zeist and Driebergen and is an important link within the National Ecological Network (EHS).In 2011
Triodos Bank decided to build a new office in De Reehorst.Following an earlier high-profile (head) offices in 1999 and 2006
RAU Architecten also designed this new office in collaboration with Ex Interiors.By giving the design maximum circular potential
a dynamic balance is created between nature
and economy.The arrival of Triodos Bank has led to new momentum to bring the estate into the 21st century.The entire building
consisting of unique wooden construction.Wooden floors
and wooden columns together form a spectacular construction like that of a “cathedral.”
RAU Architects sees a circular building as a temporary combination of products
and materials with a documented identity.The origin and planned re-use of all products
and materials are carefully documented in order to be able to easily offer them new usage in the future.It is important to anticipate possible changes as much as possible when designing buildings due to changes in user requirements
differences in the useful life of building components or external influences such as changing regulations or climate change.The building is literally screwed together with 165,312 screws.This means that whenever dismantling the building
the circular potential can be activated 100% without loss of value of materials
and products.The composition and form of the five-story building (12,994 m2) are inspired by nature
the rhythm of the landscaped rooms in the surrounding estate and the flight paths of bats.The three transparent
uniform towers run from south to north and are alternately connected on the ground
first and second floors.This physical body provides a beautiful view for all employees daily.Because of its shape
three new “landscape rooms” are created between the edge of the forest and the building and create a diversity of new landscape qualities around it.The interior designed by Ex Interiors further reflects the beauty of the surrounding landscape

The construction industry is a major source of pollution and building materials should not be wasted but recycled
Architect Thomas Rau even proposed a UN Declaration of Material Rights in this respect
New material passports aim at bringing circular economy to buildings

De regionale verschillen in reisafstand tot een bioscoop zijn een stuk groter dan voor de supermarkt of het restaurant
Opnieuw hadden inwoners van Vlieland de kortste reisafstand
Ameland en Schiermonnikoog beschikken niet over een bioscoop en hun inwoners moesten gemiddeld 44 kilometer en 56 kilometer reizen voor een filmbezoek
