DPG Mediavaert Headquarters, The new hybrid timber headquarters of DPG Media adds a communications hub to Amsterdam’s developing city district Overamstel. In addition to editorial offices and recording studios for several major Dutch newspapers, magazines, and radio shows, the building includes test labs, a meeting centre, restaurants, and an engaging event space facing the docks.

Three connected building elements sit on a continuous base of green roof terraces. The ceramic panels wrapping the façade are locally produced. These turquoise-tinted tiles of varying relief patterns shimmer modestly, giving the building a distinct character. The soft building contours, tinted ceramics, and green terraces introduce a new, post-industrial language to the raw context of the area.

The building design focuses strongly on a sustainable, healthy working environment with ample daylight, multiple green areas throughout the building, and sufficient space for both creative interaction and focused work.

The largest part of the construction, including the columns and ceilings, is composed of glulam wood. Wood not only reduces carbon emissions; it also demonstrably contributes to the well-being of people.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
