在鹿特丹市中心的Hofplein，新的联合利华比荷卢总部占据了由建筑师C.A. Abspoel设计的现有建筑的六层，其混凝土结构非常引人注目。联合利华的新设施将容纳约750名员工。

In the heart of Rotterdam on Hofplein, the new Unilever Benelux headquarters occupy six floors of an existing building from 1960 by architect C.A. Abspoel with a striking concrete structure. The new Unilever facility will accommodate around 750 employees.

市政厅。进入六楼后，参观者在立顿酒吧受到欢迎，这里展示了城市的美丽景色。从立顿酒吧开始，所有楼层都可以通过内部楼梯进入。在楼层中进行了突破，创造了连接各部门的空隙，从而连接了员工。一进门，大礼堂，也就是所谓的市政厅，立即引人注目。这个礼堂以及活动空间和餐厅都是多功能的，可用于活动、讲座和吃午饭的地方。它们也可用于非正式会议或工作，使这些功能都成为工作环境的一部分。

Townhall. Upon entering the sixth floor, visitors are welcomed in the Lipton Bar exhibiting a beautiful view of the city. From the Lipton Bar, all floors are accessible via internal stairs. Breakthroughs were made in the floors creating voids that connect the various departments and thus employees. Upon entering, the auditorium, the so-called town hall, immediately stands out. This auditorium as well as the event space and restaurant are multifunctional and can be used for events, lectures, and a place to have lunch. They can also be used for informal meetings or working, making these functions all part of the working environment.

联合利华城。室内被设计成一个有街道和商店的城市。联合利华城。放在混凝土结构之间的多功能柜子在建筑中间形成一条街道。这些都是联合利华的内部展示柜。产品可以在柜子里展示，它们也可以用来打电话、讨论或静静地工作。联合利华各部门的工作场所都位于街道上，每个部门都有自己的身份、品牌和性格特征。它们构成了街道上的商店。美容与个人护理部、家庭护理部、茶水部、食品部和食品解决方案部的品牌中心强调了这些部门的氛围，每个部门都有自己的特色，并形成了一个可以展示和测试产品的热点。

Unilever City. The interior is designed as a city with streets and shops: Unilever City. Multipurpose cabinets placed between the concrete structure form a street in the middle of the building. These serve as Unilever’s internal showcase. Products can be displayed in the cabinets and they can also be used for calls, discussions or to work in silence. Workplaces of the various Unilever departments are located on the street, each with its own identity, brand, and character traits. They form the shops on the street. Brand hubs of Beauty & Personal Care, Home Care, Refreshment, Foods, and Food Solutions departments emphasize the atmosphere of these departments, each having its own identity and forming a hotspot where products can be presented and tested.

基于活动的工作。工作区、会议区、呼叫区、咨询区、展示区以及其他使用和住宿区的混合，为以活动为基础的工作创造了动态环境。联合利华的员工可以找到一个适合他们当时活动的地方。这刺激了合作、知识交流和会议，而且由于你在建筑中的活动更多，它还能促进健康。

Activity-based working. The mix of working, meeting, calling, consultation, presentation, and other use and accommodation areas creates a dynamic environment to work in an activity-based manner. Unilever employees can find a place that suits their activity of the time. This stimulates collaborations, knowledge exchange, and meetings and because you move more through the building, it also promotes health.

工业化。所用的材料加强了建筑的工业特性。黑钢、橡木、铸造的地板和瓷砖构成了一个中性的基础，给了展示联合利华的产品和营销的空间。

Industrial. The materials used to strengthen the industrial character of the building. The black steel, oak, the cast floor, and tiles form a neutral basis, giving the space to showcase Unilever’s products and marketing.
