The acoustics at the bottom of the space are fine, but I was seated right at the top for part of the construction and I could hardly hear what was being said, even though a microphone was being used. The reflections from the ceiling, but in particular the noise from the installations simply masked the speech. I visited a seminar in this space a few weeks ago.

If that floor is hard, they'll have a lot of noise bouncing off of the brick walls and floors surely? Either way it's an interesting design, but not one I'd want to work in. Too open and exposed and as Pieter says, the colour's hardly relaxing. And Wladimir's right, MVRDV aren't as great as you might think. I've seen a number of their projects which are a few years old now and they appear to be designed to look great on a website without enough attention paid to making them enjoyable to use or long-lasting.

It did seem quite vibrant in its usage and quite refreshing. I visited this project just last week.
