VDM+Dataview is a successful company looking for a new creative inspiring bigger place for its employees. The owner of the company has bought the Omnia, a floating workplace from 1938 that was used as the office and restaurant of Holland Diving. He would actually like to use it for his company and to place it in a old haven that became a vibrant area in Rotterdam: the brand new Lloydkwartier district. ABL2 was asked to make a whole study for that case: context analysis, concept development and feasibility studies: for the wished place or for some alternative places in case the first case is revealed too difficult to achieve.<\/p>\n

After few interviews and meetings with the different parties, it was decided that the Omnia, if placed in this district, should also have a public function because it would quite central and significant. Moreover opening the office of VDM+Dataviewis representative of the vision of the company: the behaviour of the people is central. By welcoming the population of the district and Rotterdam, both of parties would win: VDM+Dataviewis highlighted, Lloydkwartier has a symbol to sell, the multi-cultural population a new hype place to explore.<\/p>\n

Here is the concept: De Nieuwe Wereld (The New World) \u201cUnconventional, multifunctional and experimental\u201d, a \u201ccreative stopping place that would be the beginning and ending of the creative sector in the Lloydkwartier, where water and port serve as source of inspiration\u201d.<\/p>\n
