Mediavaert serves as DPG Media\u2019s headquarters in Amsterdam<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mediavaert, designed by Team V Architecture, is one of Europe\u2019s largest hybrid timber<\/a> office<\/a><\/strong> buildings, serving as the headquarters for DPG Media in Amsterdam\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Overamstel district. The 46,000 sq m building accommodates editorial offices and recording studios for multiple Dutch newspapers, magazines, and radio stations. The project was developed in collaboration with real estate developer Being and engineering firm Arup<\/a><\/strong> and is located on a former parking lot adjacent to DPG Media\u2019s printing facility.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The building uses a hybrid structural approach, applying timber where possible and steel<\/a> or concrete<\/a><\/strong> where necessary. Over 7,000 cu m of cross-laminated timber (CLT), sourced from Austrian production forests, is used for beams, columns, and floors. Prefabricated components enabled efficient assembly, reducing waste and construction time. The facade<\/a><\/strong> incorporates 15,000 hand-glazed ceramic<\/a><\/strong> tiles produced locally by Royal Tichelaar. These tiles, along with the building\u2019s rounded edges, introduce a textured and visually softer contrast to the industrial surroundings.<\/p>\n

Mediavaert integrates energy-efficient systems, including CO\u2082-controlled ventilation with heat recovery, ground-source heating and cooling (WKO), solar panels, and water-saving fixtures. Interior spaces are designed to maximize natural daylight and visibility of greenery, supported by features such as skylights, an atrium, and open-plan layouts. A 430-meter elevated green walking path surrounds the building, accessible to all occupants.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project by Team V Architecture Studio<\/a><\/strong> follows principles of circularity and ecological integration, combining architecture, interior design, and landscaping into a single framework. These strategies have contributed to the building achieving BREEAM Excellent certification, the 2024 National Timber Award, and recognition as \u2018Office Building of the Year\u2019 at the Architectenweb Awards. Mediavaert demonstrates the scalability of industrialized timber construction for large-scale urban developments while addressing environmental performance, workplace health, and adaptability.<\/p>\n
