The Building

The new European head office for the Saudi-Arabian petrochemical company Sabic in Sittard is designed to reflect the core values of client-renewal, transparency and approachability.

The head office with eight floors and a basement for parking is situated on a prominent site connected by a green axis with the Fortuna stadium.

The structural glass facade enables a high degree of transparency with the slanting roof made of aluminum panels and glass adding to the dynamism of the facade.

A corten steel sculpture by the Dutch artist Fons Schobbers marks the entrance to the building.

Blue neon lighting illuminates the two top floors, spreading a blue glow over Sittard.

The interiors are attuned to the needs of the client. With its functions not being place bound; direct communication emerges critical.

In response to this the building contains no fixed offices, but various flexible zones: open offices, closed offices, spaces for teamwork, meeting rooms, rest zones and a restaurant which doubles as meeting place.

This office concept was developed in collaboration with Veldhoen + Company.
