Offices

Strijp-S has a long and impressive history that goes back to 1916 when Anton Philips had the first factory built at Strijp-S, a glass factory for pears. Many impressive developments followed later, such as the Philips Physics Laboratory, Hoge Rug, Klokgebouw, Ketelhuis, Engine Room and Veemgebouw. 

BOLD connects an A-quality new-build office with the dynamic Strijp-S. BOLD is in the spotlight due to its prominent location at the head of Strijp-S and is the focal point of a vibrant centre. BOLD is the office building that is characterised by high-quality architecture, transparency and openness combined with the raw/industrial edge of Strijp-S. BOLD stands for daring; taking on challenges, seizing opportunities and daring to lead the way.

We designed the A+ label air handling unit in close collaboration with HOMIJ Technische Installaties Eindhoven, using such technology as steam humidification, and accessories for cooling and heating that were built into the AHU, creating a kind of technical room. The air handling unit is equipped with a sorption heat wheel and moves 2 x 61,000 m³/h (supply and extract). The LBK is almost 4.5 metres high and wide and has a length of over 7 metres. Despite these gigantic dimensions and air volumes, the casing only weighs 7,500 kg.
