Paris-Proof Offices in Progress

Edge has been featured by Archello for its approach to designing Paris-Proof offices in the Netherlands.

At Edge, we do not treat Paris-Proof as a target to reach. We treat it as a boundary to design within. A set of limits that sharpens every decision, from what we keep to what we build, how we power, and how our buildings perform over time.

Sometimes, that means starting with a monument.

At the dsm-firmenich headquarters in Maastricht, a listed 1911 building becomes an opportunity rather than a constraint. Heritage and high performance are not opposites. Extending the life of what already exists is one of the most powerful carbon strategies we have.

Sometimes, it means rethinking what is already there.

At EDGE Stadium in Amsterdam, an existing office is transformed through circular design, powered by 100% renewable energy, and engineered to reduce operational emissions by 70%. Not by adding more, but by using smarter carbon strategies.

Different buildings.
Different histories.
The same principle.

The future of the office is not defined by how much we build, but by how intelligently we build, reuse, and operate.
