Futureproof by flexibility
Internally, the architectural concept centres on flexible, activity-based working environments. A multi-level “town hall” space serves as the building’s social heart, featuring a prominent staircase with integrated seating for informal meetings, events and collaborative work. From here, a sequence of double-height spaces follows the building’s stepped profile upwards, connecting diverse activity zones with outdoor terraces.
“The idea of flexibility goes beyond movable partitions,” Weyer said. “It’s about creating spatial diversity that can evolve to meet changing workplace needs.”
With approximately 19,000 square metres of floor area across 13 levels, including two basement floors with extensive bicycle parking and electric vehicle charging, the building also promotes sustainable mobility. Public-facing gallery spaces at ground level extend the building’s programme into the urban realm, supporting cultural engagement.
For Weyer, B-One demonstrates how climate ambition can inform architectural identity rather than constrain it. “Climate-friendliness, flexibility and architectural quality are not competing objectives,” he said. “When integrated from the outset, they strengthen each other.”
