During the renovation of Van Wijnen’s office in Eibergen, integrating greenery was a key focus. As a construction company with a bold and industrial aesthetic, Van Wijnen sought to introduce natural elements without compromising the building’s robust character. The challenge? Developing a cohesive green concept that complements both the architecture and the functional layout of the workspaces.
To achieve this, we designed a carefully curated green plan where plants enhance spatial balance. From a striking Kentia palm in the entrance to thoughtfully placed planters and acoustic solutions—every green element was seamlessly integrated into the interior design and workspace functionality.
A Natural Balance Between Design and Greenery
Van Wijnen’s architecture is defined by clean lines and a mix of industrial materials. To soften this aesthetic and create a harmonious atmosphere, we introduced a combination of bold statement pieces and subtle greenery.
Custom-made planters, coated in colours matching the flooring, visually connect different areas, while plants were strategically positioned within sight lines to ensure greenery is visible from multiple angles throughout the office.
Design Features
- A Striking Entrance Feature
An impressive 3.5-meter Kentia palm takes centre stage in the entrance, providing a warm welcome and reinforcing the office’s natural ambiance. - Moss Wall as a Natural Statement
A large moss wall, featuring the steel Van Wijnen logo, serves as a striking focal point while enhancing the office’s acoustics. - Custom-Made Planters
Seamlessly blending with the interior, the planters were coated in shades that match the flooring, ensuring perfect integration of office plants. - Strategic Plant Placement
Tall and low plants were positioned to define spaces within open work areas, creating natural zoning without disrupting the sense of openness. - Multi-Form Stands as Green Accents
Planters by the windows add depth to the space and maintain a strong visual connection with the outdoors. - Branded Wall Visuals
Custom-made wall visuals showcasing Van Wijnen’s own projects reinforce the company’s identity and atmosphere.
The Result
Greenery has become an integral part of the office environment. The entrance makes an immediate impact, while carefully positioned plants bring tranquillity and warmth to the workspaces. Employees responded enthusiastically during the project handover—some departments that initially opted against greenery later requested additional plants. Due to its success, the concept has since been expanded to other areas of the office.
