52Nijmegen, Office building by Mecanoo in Nijmegen, Netherlands
52Nijmegen is a modern office building designed with an alternating facade of glass and solid materials that creates layers of visual interest. The structure contains multiple floors dedicated to office spaces, meeting areas, and zones for both work and relaxation.
The building was completed in 2007 and represents Mecanoo's architectural approach to workplace design in the early 21st century. It emerged during a period when modern work environments were being redefined and sustainability gained importance.
The building embodies Dutch design philosophy through its open floor layouts and how workspaces encourage people to move around and interact. The design choices shape how employees meet and collaborate throughout their day.
The building sits near major transportation routes and is easy to access from different parts of the city. Visitors will find cafes and facilities designed for meetings and events throughout the space.
The building weaves multiple levels of green spaces and relaxation areas directly into its working zones rather than treating them as separate spaces. These planted areas are encountered naturally as people move through the building during their day.
