World leader in gases, technologies and services for Industry and Health
Air Liquide is the global market leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and healthcare. Air Liquide Benelux was looking for a good location for its head office in Rotterdam. The office had to be easily accessible and have a varied design.
From the very beginning, Sprank was involved in the search for the right office space. We studied three locations intensively, and the one on the Weena was ultimately chosen for the new office space; a location only a stone's throw from the central station and also not far from the airport.
Thanks to the round façade on one side, the space has a beautiful, dynamic character. We installed glass system walls, and in combination with the light floor covering and a light grey cast floor, it has become an open, accessible office space with lots of light. At this new location we have created work spaces where both permanent employees and employees from other locations can feel at home. There is high-end presentation equipment in the meeting rooms that all have videoconferencing. The i's were finally dotted and the t's finally crossed with the placement of round shapes, symbolising the Air Liquide gas pipes, on a 3D-printed partition.
