位于阿姆斯特丹Frederiksplein广场的前保险银行大楼建于1967年，由Arthur Staal（1907-1993）设计。对于这位激烈的现代主义者来说，这是一个独特的项目，他面临的挑战是如何在两座相邻的历史建筑之间的立面上形成一种关系。其结果是一个独特的办公大楼，在现代的同时仍然参考了过去–尽管是抽象的。

The former insurance bank building on the Amsterdam square Frederiksplein was constructed in 1967 and designed by Arthur Staal (1907-1993). It was a unique project for this fierce modernist who had a challenge in forming a relationship in the façades between two historical adjacent buildings. The result is a singular office building that is modern while still referencing the past – albeit abstractly.

经过多年的忽视和临时性的翻新，该建筑需要被修复，并使其更具有可持续性。就Staal的设计而言，Office Winhov的改造加强并揭示了该建筑的原始特征。虽然为了满足今天的可持续发展要求，外墙必须被替换，但原有的可塑性、节奏感和少即是多的态度被保留下来–还有Staal标志性的屋顶末端。

After years of neglect and ad hoc renovations, the building needed to be restored and made more sustainable. With respect to Staal’s design, Office Winhov’s transformation strengthens and reveals the building’s original character. While the façade had to be replaced to fulfill today’s sustainability requirements, the original’s sense of plasticity, rhythm and less-is-more attitude was retained – along with Staal’s signature roof endings.

该建筑本身是Office Winhov新的室内设计的灵感来源。由于天花板已经很低，所以选择了竖井的垂直结构来加强空间感。这也适合于一个简单的布局，即一个透明的中央核心和一个周围开放的会议室网络。在建筑的顶层，Staal选择了一个富有表现力的屋顶装饰，里面有一个办公餐厅。

The building itself served as a source of inspiration for Office Winhov’s new interior design. With already low ceilings, a vertical structure of shafts was chosen to enhance a sense of space. This also lent itself to a simple layout with a transparent central core and a surrounding open network of meeting rooms. The top floor of the building, where Staal opted for an expressive roof finish, houses an office restaurant.

简而言之，这个项目的总体结果是一个整体的转变，在这个转变中，可用性得到了恢复，现有建筑的质量再次得到了体现。该建筑现在已经准备好在未来几十年内提供一个舒适和鼓舞人心的工作场所。

In short, the overall result of this project is an integral transformation in which the usability is restored, and the quality of the existing building is made visible again. The building is now ready to provide a comfortable and inspiring workplace for decades to come.
