About Gaia

Gaia is the goddess of the earth in Greek mythology, the classical version of Mother Nature. Gaia was built with the environment in mind. The building also has an open and inviting structure.

Gaia was designed by BD Architectuur. Sustainable building was one of the main concepts behind the design. The separate parts have been grouped around functions that require warmer or colder indoor climates. The central atrium is where the air is transferred; warmer air from the offices rises to the roof where heat is retained and re-used. This makes the building very energy efficient.

Accessibility

Access to the building requires a valid WURcard.
