The WeTransfer HQ in Amsterdam is a collaboration hub of inspiration and togetherness, marrying functionality with seamless technology while capturing the brand’s values of championing ideas and connecting the world with creativity. For a young, dynamic workforce, the new central location in the heart of Amsterdam was integral, with the neighbourhood instilling an atmosphere of vitality before even stepping foot into the office. Designed by Woodalls Design, here the remote-first team can come together conveniently, forge meaningful connections, and cultivate a strong sense of community and purpose. The goal was to build a multi-functional space that catered to their workforce’s needs while championing the company’s values of supporting artists and the creative world.
Reflecting WeTransfer’s mission is to support the creative world, with the company donating up to 30% of its advertising space to support artists and social causes, Woodalls created a bespoke gallery, an exhibition space that could be flexible and adaptable to host different artists to showcase their work. The design focuses on creating a homely and inviting atmosphere. Vintage furniture, recycled pieces, ambient lighting, and personalised elements are incorporated to foster ownership and allow employees to personalise their space. The use of authentic, locally-sourced materials aligns with WeTransfer’s commitment to sustainability and pays homage to Amsterdam’s heritage.
