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.

Although the orange might be beautiful, its not the most neutral color to be working in for 8 hours a day.... Ape_trots Its my daily work space, as an architecture student of the TU in Delft.

Also, the space and furniture arn't flexible, but mainly due to us (students) not being allowed to move it, and it is an incredibly noisy space (with such a huge volume and no acoustically absorbent material).
