Tribal DDB Amsterdam is a highly ranked digital marketing
agency and part of DDB international, worldwide one of the largest advertising
offices. i29 interior architects designed their new offices for about 80 people.
With Tribal DDB our goal was to create an environment
where creative interaction is supported and to achieve as much workplaces as
possible in a new structure with flexible desks and a large open space. All of this while
maintaining a work environment that stimulates long office hours and
concentrated work. As Tribal DDB is part of an
international network a clear identity was required, which also fits the parent
company DDB. The design had to reflect an identity that is friendly and playful
but also professional and serious. The contradictions within these
questions, asked for choices that allow great flexibility in the design.
Situated in a building where some structural parts could not
be changed it was a challenge to integrate these elements in the design and
become an addition to the whole. i29 searched for
solutions to various problems which could be addressed by one grand gesture. At
first a material which could be an alternative to the ceiling system, but also
to cover and integrate structural parts like a big round staircase. Besides
that, acoustics became a very important item, as the open spaces for stimulating
creative interaction and optimal usage of space was required.
This led us to the use of fabrics. It
is playful, and can make a powerful image on a conceptual level, it is perfect
for absorbing sound and therefore it creates privacy in open spaces. And we
could use it to cover scars of demolition in an effective way.There is probably no other material
which can be used on floors, ceiling, walls and to create pieces of furniture
and lampshades then felt. It’s also durable, acoustic, fireproof and
environment friendly. Which doesn’t mean it was easy to make all of these items
in one material!
i29 always looks for choices
that answer to multiple questions at the same time. They tell a conceptual
story about the company, the space and the users of the space. They deal with
specific practical and functional issues and they have to have some autonomous
quality as well. These ‘levels’ are intertwined; one leads you to the other. If
you see how smart it serves it purpose practically it leads you to the company.
If you see the powerful image that is non-depended, it leads you to the
functionality, and round it goes.
At i29 we believe that simplicity builds character.
Compare it to a human being; strong individuals always have one or few
characteristics that stand out. We all know how hard it is to stay focused on
the one thing that is most important to you. The same way it is with a design.
The result of being very selective is that you have to push the one choice to
the limit. It also provides a field of tension, and gives energy to a space
without fail into chaos. But more importantly it leaves you with a charismatic
environment.
