End March, 32 ULI members visited the iconic HQ for Booking.com in the heart of Amsterdam.

This office building completes the master plan for the redevelopment of Oosterdokseisland. Booking.com requested an employee-focused building with high demands on sustainability and public return, to underline the DNA of their company.

We started off with keynotes by Jeroen Galle – BPD about the unique history of the brownfield development site as well as the innovative aspects incorporated into the site to bring forward a campus-style location that exemplifies the organisation’s culture and talent attraction, as explained by Marnix Mali Booking.com.

Followed by Arjan Dingste and Marc Hoppermann UNStudio about the design to meet these requirements, including the focus on Well innovation and Nina Sickenga Moss about the unique Biophilic green interior design, to require the needs and welfare of the employees and visitors.

The site tour took us to this impressive building block where we enjoyed a wonderful view. This event was kindly hosted by our members BPD and UNS.
