The new building housing the state revenue office and the student loan agency in Groningen was to have nothing to do with the dusty, dreary clichés that many people associate with large office complexes, and in particular with government agencies. This goal was achieved in a remarkable way by the architectural firm UNStudio of Amsterdam. They created one of the most sustainable office buildings in Europe.

Openness permeates the entire design of this altogether modern work environment. The civil servants working here have stylishly furnished communication and lounge areas as well as coffee corners and a canteen at their disposal – basically, they can work anywhere. Warm colors such as fuchsia and yellow sun extend throughout the entire interior design. The workplaces themselves are kept in quiet, natural colors.

To ensure that the lighting solution fit perfectly into the project concept, 30 different task luminaires were put through their paces – in the end, the award-winning MINELA from Waldmann was selected. Its quality, design, ergonomics and efficiency yielded a coherent whole that fit perfectly into the project concept. A 5-watt High Power Multichip LED illuminates each desk evenly over a large area without annoying shadows. Greater energy efficiency, longer life and lower heat generation are achieved through the high-quality electronic components and materials of the lamp head. The light is dimmable and can thus be adjusted to any individual visual requirement. A special feature of MINELA is its auto-off function. This switches power off automatically after two hours of uninterrupted operation. Unnecessary energy consumption is thus avoided.
