The Creative Alphabet Building at Minerva harbor Amsterdam
Amsterdam wants to become the creative capital of the world. But high housing demands of the creative sector and the scarce supply of office and industrial lofts are an obstacle. The creative industry proposes the best choice for a diynamic and innovative environment: a place that is creative, spatial and inspiring, with distinctive design in a prime location and still accessible.
Minervahaven as the epicenter of art, culture and media.Based on the demands for creative office space, the Alphabet building was developed at the Minerva harbor in Amsterdam. The area is a creative hotspot. Entrepreneurs in the creative industry can occupy a part of the space but also an entire floor - a character string - now.
The building is fully at the service of openness and space to create optimal working conditions. The aesthetic is utilitarian, and the color is pure and raw materials with raw concrete, aluminum and steel. The creative hotspot is expectedto be ready by mid 2012. At the present, Thonik Design Bureau is the first purchaser and the proud owner of the letters A through F on the literary front.
Testimonials
Creative businesses are all looking for space and a building with a unique identity in the best location. Preferably a gathering place for creative minds, because it provides a good energy. By Alphabet building is the office world a richer place. Large beautiful rooms, practical layout and distinctive architecture. Personally I love the work of MVRDV, that suits Thonik.
