The Booking.com Headquarters is located in the city-centre of Amsterdam and is currently under construction at the Oosterdokseiland: one of the largest urban projects in Western Europe. The building was designed to create highly differentiated spaces that are both formal and informal for activities across scales. This was achieved in part through the form of the building, which is an assembly of volumes that ‘weave’ into each other to create interior and exterior balconies and double height spaces.

Through mixed-use facilities designed with a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, the campus creates a positive experience for all users: from the citizens of Amsterdam who use the public space and retail facilities, to the tenants who live in the residential building, to the young Booking.com workforce. Our all-inclusive approach to health encompassed 10 factors that address the differing needs of occupants while also achieving a BREEAM Excellent design certificate. These 10 factors include a considered approach to air circulation, water, nourishment, daylight, physical movement, thermal comfort, sound and materials, as well as a holistic approach mental wellbeing, and strategies to give back to the Amsterdam community.
