Fundis House

With a wooden structure and a split-level layout, Fundis House sets a new standard in workplace design. HofmanDujardin designed both the architecture and interior of this innovative office building in Gouda, Netherlands. High sustainability goals were integrated from the initial sketch, reflecting the client’s ambition to create a visibly healthy and eco-conscious building.


The future occupant of the office is a healthcare organization consisting of multiple smaller companies. Stimulating collaboration and interactions between different people and teams is key. This is embedded in the split-level concept, which ensures continuous and dynamic connections between the floors and the various companies.

Continuous and dynamic connections

The ground floor is vibrant and equipped with shared facilities. From the welcoming entrance zone with a vitality bar, a grandstand staircase leads to the working café. A variety of meeting and training rooms are open to staff and visitors.


Centered in the building, an inviting route connects the office floors. These feature shared spaces for collaboration around the central circulation zone and flexible office spaces along the façades. The wooden columns and ceilings create a healthy and fresh interior, enhanced with a variety of colors that help visitors navigate. Besides high sustainability standards, Fundis House also enhances the well-being and productivity of its users.
