The ARBARO-project

The ARBARO-team wanted the Van Unnik to function as and look like a forest; a healthy environment that is open to everyone and functioning through self-oranization. To achieve this, they developed several concept ideas. A tubular skylight will bring as much natural light as possible into the inner parts of the building. Artificial lighting in the building will follow the circadian clock, bringing a sense of the outside world into the building. In addition, a green facade with geometric windows allows for adaptable, optimized illumination. Movable green walls can be used
to create small working areas (similar to niches found in nature) for better team work and focus.
