True sustainability: a decade of innovation at Mazars Breda

A sustainable reinterpretation
The original design from 2013 proved to be sustainable and flexible. The work concept has been functioning satisfactorily for years, and the structure offered space to accommodate the growth of the organization. In the recent upgrade, we made subtle but effective adjustments:
• Color scheme: Accent colors in custom furniture changed to blue, in accordance with the new corporate identity.
• Greenery: Extra plants added for a more pleasant indoor climate.
• Floor covering: Old upholstery sustainably removed and replaced with a new palette in beige, brown, and blue tones.
With minimal resources, the office looks as good as new again and is ready for the next ten years. This is an example of true sustainability: respecting what is there and only making smart adjustments.

Thorough approach to specific zones
The entrance and the eat-work café have been thoroughly tackled:
• An extra meeting room and a renovated reception desk have been added.
• The café has been expanded with more seating and plants.

2013: from outdated to energy-conscious
The original transformation in 2013 brought the building from the 80s to a modern standard:
1. Structural improvements: Increased facade insulation, HR++ glazing installed, and radiators replaced by sleek interior facades with a thermal shell.
2. Installation technology: Energy-efficient lighting, induction units and new air handling units installed.
3. Energy performance: The energy label went from F to A, without compromising on comfort or appearance.

Innovative work concepts
We designed a workplace concept that supports activity-related work:
• Work floors: quiet work areas, lounge zones, and open team areas.
• Meeting areas: An open plaza, eat-work café and a multifunctional meeting center in the basement.
By closely involving employees in the process, a flexible working environment was created that promotes innovation and collaboration.
