Sabic Europe Head Office

In September 2006, SABIC Europe opened its new head office in Sittard, The Netherlands. A unique landmark, the building reflects the values of SABIC Europe as a transparent and accessible company. SABIC, headquartered in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), is one of the world's top 10 petrochemical companies and the largest non-oil company in the Middle East. The office with eight floors and a basement for parking is situated on a prominent site connected by a green axis with the Fortuna stadium. The structural glass facade enables a high degree of transparency, and the slanting roof made of aluminum panels and glass ads to the dynamics of the facade. The building has no fixed offices, but various flexible zones: open offices, closed offices, spaces for teamwork, meeting rooms, rest zones and a restaurant which doubles as meeting place.
