At Nieuwegein, at one of the most strategic businesscentres in the Netherlands, in full view of the A12 motorway and directly situated on the bank of the Merwedekanaal, Ballast Nedam holds headoffice.
In close cooperation with both principal and architect Devier designed and produces all special furniture for this project. Much attention was paid to the representative function of the building and the working environment for the employees.
Immediately on entering the main entrance the beautiful reception counter strikes the eye. With a playful hint at the long history of this building & construction company, the front of the counter is clad in pebbles! Of course the entrance has been furnished with a splendid lobby where waiting is a pleasure.
The various floors have been furnished with both functional and stylish coffee corners. Standing tables in the corridors between the offices have an obvious social function. Throughout the building concrete columns have been cled and provided with lighting that truly catches the eye.

One of the walls in the boardroom has been finished with a blown-up picture that was specifically presented to us by the principal and which takes us back to the early years of Ballast Nedam. An example of the latest developments in the field of HPL, a material that is widely used in interior building.

Staff restaurant and guest restaurant have been tastefully furnished with much attention to detail: the walls have been clad with removable panelling with prints. In the guest restaurant a decorative wall consisting of blocks clad with many different materials has been placed. For the bar and cabinet timber was chosen from the refuse-heap in order to give authenticity. Eye-catching detail: the tiles on the edge of the bar.
