For TCC Global’s workplace in the World Trade Center Amsterdam, the design began with a contrast. The existing architecture was clear, rational and orthogonal; our intervention introduces movement, softness and a more intuitive way of experiencing the floor.
TCC Global wanted the office to do more than accommodate everyday work. It also needed to communicate the character of the company to visitors, creating a journey through its culture, people and activities. At the same time, the workplace had to provide employees with a sense of comfort and familiarity: an environment in which collaboration and social interaction could coexist with privacy and concentration.
Our response was to introduce a single spatial language that runs throughout the interior. Curved forms unfold across the floor, linking arrival areas, presentation spaces, informal meeting settings and more focused work environments. Rather than defining each function as an isolated destination, the architecture creates continuity between them.
As people move through the workplace, the degree of openness constantly shifts. Wider areas encourage interaction and shared activity, while smaller settings offer a greater sense of enclosure and calm. Sightlines appear gradually through curved openings, creating visual connections without revealing every space at once.
The result is an interior that can be understood through movement rather than signage or rigid circulation routes. Architecture becomes a way of gently directing people through the workplace while still allowing them to choose how and where they want to spend their time.
This idea of choice is an important part of our Habitoor approach. We see the workplace as a collection of different conditions rather than a fixed arrangement of desks and meeting rooms. Some moments call for energy and exchange; others require distance, concentration or simply a quieter place to reset.
Materiality reinforces this experience. Tactile finishes, integrated lighting, acoustic considerations and rounded geometries give the spaces a warmer and more domestic character, deliberately moving away from the harder visual language traditionally associated with corporate interiors.
For TCC Global, softness became both an architectural identity and an organisational principle. It connects spaces, shapes circulation and mediates between openness and privacy.
The finished workplace is therefore not defined by one dominant function or way of working. Instead, it offers a varied landscape that unfolds across the floor: social and focused, expressive and restrained, open yet protective. A workplace designed not simply to be occupied, but to be experienced.
