Bazalt Groep’s journey to biophilic deisgn with modulyss
Bazalt Groep, in the Netherlands, is one of the largest educational expertise centres, wanted to retain the soothing ambiance of the dunes and seaside in their city office in Den Haag. The institution advocates for innovation, striving to draw out optimal potential from children, youths, and educational professionals.
“As a company serving young individuals the design needed to reflect a calming and safe environment, setting the stage for modulyss’ intervention.” ~ modulyss
The architect on this project, Petra Gielissen of Zeegroen, known for her unique approach towards office concepts, interior architecture, and building, selected modulyss carpet tiles from the Heritage Collection. Petra’s reason for choosing ranges from the Heritage Collection, was because of its capacity to subtly imbue the tranquillity of the seaside and dunes into an urban setting.
“I often spot trends first at modulyss before other carpet companies.” ~ Petra Gielissen
The Dune range encapsulates the shifting sands and grassy hills, offering a muted palette and intricate textures that encourage exploration of the environment’s subtleties. While Polder reflects resilience and growth of the land, through its linear patterns, which is inspired from the region’s agricultural areas.
“The quiet tones and fluid movement within the tiles. in combination with the calming effects of biophilic design, made the Dune and Polder tiles the ideal choice for an education centre that aims to create a peaceful environment for the children it serves.” ~ modulyss
Bazalt’s new space was thoughtfully divided with difference carpet tiles to indicate the functionality of each area. This created an intuitive navigation system within the office. For instance, the Dune carpet tiles were used in focus areas to create a cocoon-like space, contrasting with the open office rooms.
“The result was a beautifully co-ordinated environmnet that seamlessly integrated the relocated furniture and the new biophilically designed office.” ~ modulyss
The Bazalt Groep’s new office space sparks inspiration for others to adopt a biophilic design through modulyss carpets, enhancing their spaces with the spirit of nature, improving well-being, and driving sustainable choices.
“This project serves as a testimony to how modulyss’ carpet tiles can effectively translate an organisation’s ethos into a tangible, aesthetic design, contributing to a better workspace experience.” ~ modulyss
