The old structure with its characteristic columns is now an asset, and by designing a special climate system, ample height is ensured in the office areas. Details like the exposed raw concrete against the smooth glass surface of the new elements and facade, emphasize the fluid merge between old and new. The materialization scheme was kept simple, the cool concrete of the existing building is contrasted with warm hues of wood and fabrics, never compromising on transparency.

在经过大范围的招标后，荷兰中央政府机构最终委任R Creators集团来控制项目的设计、建造和运营，并与之签订了20年的开发阶段合约，使后者可以领取资金以实施建筑的维护和运营。
尽管设计任务书中包含了涉及功能、安全、声学、气候、可持续性和美观性的多达21014项要求，设计团队依然出色地完成了任务，尽其所能地创造出最舒适友好的办公环境。
立足于“人与建筑的中心”这一观念，该项目被评选为荷兰最受欢迎的政府办公建筑，室内设计部分还获得了享有声誉的FRAME大奖。

The Dutch Central Government Agency commissioned the design, construction, and operations to the consortium R Creators after an extensive bidding process. They are contracted to finance the transformation with an exploitation phase of 20 years, making them responsible for maintenance and operation. This made for a complex field of stakeholders, various users, and strict government requirements.
Although the Programme of Demands consisted of 21014 requirements – relating to functionality, safety, acoustics, climate, sustainability, and aesthetics – the team managed to realize the extremely high ambitions while creating the most comfortable and welcoming working environment. According to ‘Centre for People and Buildings’ it is one of the most appreciated Dutch Government Office Buildings to work in and the interior was awarded a prestigious FRAME Award.
