Beautiful
Building

Surrounded by lower structures, the 60-meter-tall ORATO fearlessly sticks its neck out. OZ architects, one of the most distiguisged in the Netherlands, chose to use eye-catching red anodized metal that gives the grid façade an elegant urban look, while shifting terraces and substantial floor-to-ceiling windows provide incredible transparency and lines of sight. A spacious void behind an urban window cuts through five floors of this new landmark.

Although the architecture is a pleasure to look at, the best views are from within. With no obstacles around, your horizon is filled with all the historical and modern highlights Amsterdam is famous for. The private skyclub on the 15th floor offers tenants of every floor the possibility of having an undisturbed look over Amsterdam. No wonder the building is called ORATO, the Greek word for visible.

Interior by
Maarten Baas

The interior of the common space (entrance and skyclub) is designed by renowned artist Maarten Baas. His colourful furniture, inspirational art, and organic shapes create a unique and playful vibe that puts any other office building in the shadow. The ground floor is open to the public, which creates a fresh hotel lobby feel with a gentle buzz.

    Ample Amenities

    Daily Deli

    We don’t believe in hostesses sitting behind a reception desk making tenants and visitors feel uncomfortable. Instead, we prefer to combine Reception and Deli so that you are welcomed and informed by a tru barista. Our Deli On the ground floor, we intent to attract a high-standard deli which offers culinary delights to keep energy levels high throughout the day. Best in class espresso machines provide next-level caffeine treats. Passionate chefs serve fresh, healthy, and heavenly food. This will soon become the neighbourhood hot spot. Communal tables, comfy chairs, and private booths provide a relaxed ambiance for casual meetings.

    Flexible working spaces & meeting rooms

    On the 1st floor of the building, we intend to equip a flexible working concept and serviced meeting rooms with modern technology. This concept allows you to instantly scale-up and facilitate your employees with flexible office space and serviced meeting rooms when a certain project temporarily requires so. The serviced meeting rooms can be connected, enabling up to 120 people to meet in great comfort.
    The flexible space will be furnished as a comfortable social hub. Quality desks, chairs, and video-call booths alternate with lounge spots for informal meetings and inspirational lunch breakouts. Our vision is that these serviced meeting rooms will be available for both ORATO tenants and external parties.

    Sky Club

    The 15th and 16th floor are intended to be a unique, private venue space “Sky Club”. Open to tenants and visitors upon reservation only. These top floors are ideal to sit and stare out of the window or to stage any event, meeting, or party that deserves an exceptional setting. We even intend to programme the venue. Combined with the best views imaginable and full-service catering, these top-notch amenities add significant value to your office.

    Lively Location

    New landmark

    ORATO is the spectacular new landmark in the upcoming Amstelkwartier area, where warehouses gradually transform into creative hubs, and factories offer housing for local craftsmanship. Visionaries feel the unexplored funky potential of this neighbourhood in transition.

    Pioneers

    Walking or biking around the Amstelkwartier, one can easily witness the metropolitan invasion. Vintage shops, cool bars, and specialty restaurants are popping up in the close vicinity. Grab a craft beer at De Eeuwige Jeugd, let your creativity flow at boutique studio Showpony, and get in shape at bouldering gym Monk or Paekz Padel. These pioneers are able to see what is still invisible to others. The area of ORATO is quickly developing into an urban destination with a mix of houses, offices, retail, and leisure.

    Sensible Sustainability

    We consider constructing and maintaining something big as ORATO a huge responsibility. In everything we do, we make the most sustainable choices when it comes to materials, energy, and health. We even took the opportunity to upgrade the building next door from C to A label by connecting it to the ORATO Climate systems
    We use low-energy lighting and offer facilities to make waste separation as easy as possible. Water is reused for toilet flushing the climate is regulated by a hybrid ventilation system that recovers heat, and we actively monitor our energy, water, and CO2 consumption. Apart from the current measures, we keep looking for new ways to reduce our impact while improving the quality of your office.
