Situation
A global sneaker and apparel brand‘s European Headquarters is located in Hilversum, The Netherlands. Formerly grounds of the 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Equestrian Games, the campus features fabulous sport facilities and running tracks. With 10 campus buildings and more than 2,000 employees from over 80 countries, the campus is a dynamic, energizing place to work that reflects the global spirit of the brand. The flexible, adaptable workplace, designed to convert to housing in the future, includes strong connections to the outdoors through daylighting, natural ventilation, and access to views. Employee health is further optimized through the use of low-VOC finishes in a virtually PVC-free environment. Renewable energy sources provide 30% of the total supply, due in large part to one of northern Europe’s largest geothermal heating and cooling systems. Designed and built on a schedule as rapid and ambitious as any European office complex of its size, the project offers a model of effective resource management, community connection, long-term flexibility, and aesthetic appeal while reflecting its tenants’ commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Requirements
The task was to design and implement a Smart Lighting solution that meets the environmental and sustainability requirements of the building and offers employees maximum comfort. The solution should also reflect the innovative spirit of this world-famous sneaker and clothing brand.
