Matrix ONE - MVRDV Architects

Matrix ONE is the largest of seven buildings that now make up the Matrix Innovation Center, part of Amsterdam Science Park, where scientists and entrepreneurs work on sustainable solutions for current and future problems. Matrix One itself contains a mixture of science laboratories and offices for tech companies and acts as a hub for the other buildings.
Matrix ONE meets ambitious Amsterdam targets for energy use and is certified BREEAM-Excellent.

Material choice plays an important role in this, as does the floor. The floor had to be durable and wear-resistant, but also match the ambitions of the building.

According to Frans de Witte, partner architect - MVRDV, this has worked out well.
