The CubeHouse

On the ‘Boog’ plot, located on the corner of Parnassusweg and Claude Debussylaan in Mahler, office building The CubeHouse is being developed. It will be the head offices of BNP Paribas Nederland, Arcadis and G&S&, who will develop the building together. The building is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Design

The design is being developed by Florian Idenburg from architects’ firm SO-IL. The building will occupy an unusual position within the public space and feature a plinth with an extrovert design. Within the plinth space will be created for Zuidas visitors and citizens to discover sustainable and digital innovations developed in the Netherlands.

Sustainability

Sustainability is one of the key principles in the development of this office. The plan is to build an energy-neutral, future-proof and low-installation building. The building and planting must be able to resist extreme climate effects, such as excessive rain, wind, heat and drought. The parties involved have expressed their ambition to achieve the most sustainable building in Zuidas and intend to use it as an ‘incubator for new sustainable concepts’. Thanks to the central location in Parnassusweg, the new Zuidas railway station and the existing Mahler car park, there are various possibilities for a flexible approach to mobility for people working in the area.

Schedule

In view of the plot’s close proximity to Zuidasdok, construction of The CubeHouse is being planned with that in mind. This means that construction work on the office will be completed in 2025 before work starts on the southern tunnel for the A10.
