This project is not only distinctive due to the striking diagonal grid covering its facade, but also because of the design and building process in the run up to its construction. Three years ago, architecture firms BNB and B06 decided to self-develop an office building for their own use. The municipality gave them a two month option on a building plot on Steigereiland. As it was, the two companies could only manage to take 700 sq m of the 3500 sq m plot and therefore created the Collective Business Commission (CBC). The premise of the CBC was that anyone who decided to join would be entitled a ‘Commissioner’ and would have a hand in any decisions made throughout the project. At the end of construction, commissioners would be able to purchase condominiums at a stated cost. By the end of the two month option given by the municipality, eight commissioners had signed up to the project to develop their own offices and acceptance of the option was confirmed. Due to the innovative nature of this process, Lingotto real estate were hired as a delegated commissioner as the CBC had to be invented, as an organisation as well as in law.
