Rijkskantoor Justitie Zaanstad nominated for Office Building of the Year by Architectenweb!

The jury praises a building with carefully designed spaces that are modest in their expression, yet warm in atmosphere thanks to the choice of materials. Combined with the abundance of daylight entering the offices, this creates a pleasant working environment, according to the jury. They are also enthusiastic about the CO₂ savings achieved through the largely wooden load-bearing structure and the parametrically optimized façade. Studio Prototype designed both the building and the interior, and the jury immediately recognized this. The result is a highly coherent piece of architecture.

The winner of the Office Building of the Year 2025 award will be announced on the evening of Wednesday, November 5, 2025, during the festive ceremony of the Architectenweb Awards 2025.
