The construction of the largest timber hybrid office in Europe, the new office of DPG Media, officially started on Wednesday 24th of March at the Van der Madeweg in Ouder-Amstel, near Amsterdam. The sustainable and innovative office building, called Mediavaert, is planned to open at the end of 2023.
“Creating an optimal working climate while also avoiding a lot of CO2 emissions: Mediavaert, a pioneering timber building of 46,000 square meters, shows that the two go hand in hand. Thanks to this innovative construction and the extraordinarily green design with modern workplaces and the many roof gardens, the building has an obvious positive ecological impact”, according to DPG Media.
