Nature, Architecture, Technology and Functionality: these elements add up to a destination of ‘Stellar’ quality.

Virgo Aalsmeer is special on account of its nature-inclusive character, which fits seamlessly with the ambitions of Schiphol Area Development Company and the City of Aalsmeer for the Green Park Aalsmeer business park. Thanks to our collaboration with ecologists and landscape architects, the building is blending in with the local flora and fauna, occupying a prominent and special place in the overall area.

Inspired by the Westeinderplassen heritage.

  • 12 electric charging stations.
  • LED lighting in the aisles.
  • 20,000 m² area of solar cells.

The LED lighting in the aisles is equipped with presence sensors. The 1,900 m² biodiverse roof garden forms a green oasis for birds and insects. To keep this roof garden green, a maintenance irrigation system has been integrated into the building. There are charging stations for electric vehicles in the passenger vehicle parking area. These charging points are fully supplied with sustainably generated energy. Both staff and visitors can use the charging stations. With a roof area of close to 20,000 m2, almost 1,000 households can, after the installation of PV panels, be supplied with solar electricity.

Saving as much as possible on energy needs.

Our ambition was to make this destination as sustainable as possible. The starting point was to save as much as possible on energy needs. In addition, we are using sustainable materials to optimize the shell of the building. For example, we selected Kingspan Quadcore sandwich panels for the façade, as they are light and use 12% less material. We applied effective technology to control temperatures, and monitor and measure energy consumption, among other things. The basic construction of the building consists of a steel skeleton with optimized dimensions and a main wooden supporting structure for the roof. All wood used in the building is FSC-certified.
