Located on an industrial estate in Amersfoort, the Karbouw building contractors’ premises combine offices and a workshop. The design responds to the programme by creating a clear architectural framework that transitions between these components.

A rectangular redbrick plinth defines the base, contrasting with the light metallic structure above. This division reflects the construction method, with concrete used for the plinth and steel for the upper volume. The base connects the building to the site’s context—or its absence—while the design focuses on spatial interactions within, shaping the building’s identity.
