We design primarily for people, construct spaces that are relevant to place, and forge connections that give a building purpose.

This has remained consistent, underlying values to Mecanoo's practice over the past four decades.

Situated adjacent to the Kaohsiung High-Speed Rail station, the new headquarters for Allmind Holdings represents a forward-thinking approach to workplace architecture. The project redefines the traditional office as a fluid, people-focused environment that promotes wellbeing, collaboration, and adaptability. 

Mecanoo has been working with Hadley Property Group as the lead architect to design the International Quarter London North at Stratford’s Town Centre, London. Between the six new stepped-tower designs, the development will feature new public spaces and amenity areas, facilitating integration into the surrounding built environment. 

The renewed Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen unites three historic buildings with Mecanoo’s contemporary additions to form a cohesive museum ensemble. Anchored by the new Buitenhof and Rotunda, the design brings light and connection between historic wings while introducing flexible new spaces for exhibitions and events. The result is a vibrant cultural hub that celebrates creativity, heritage, and community in Rotterdam.

As a pivotal initiative within the two-phase masterplan, Taoyuan Station is set to emerge as the city's central axis. Located in the old city center, the new Taoyuan Station is a large, covered plaza encompassing commercial spaces, a metro, a bus station, and underground railways. 

Mecanoo’s vision for the building respects the modernist typology that defines the campus by preserving the existing structure and introduces an innovative volume above the former patio to accommodate part of the new programme, stimulating curiosity in visitors.

Hanzehuis is Mecanoo’s transformation of Zutphen’s Theatre Hanzehof & Buitensociëteit into a vibrant cultural hub. The design blends historic preservation with new timber architecture, featuring spaces for performance, learning, and community gathering. Rooted in sustainability and inclusivity, it becomes a dynamic living room for the city and region.

The essence of Trinity has imprinted itself in the building with a diverse mix of spaces to learn, engage in the community and feel at home. The Lawson Centre for Sustainability celebrates and fosters Trinity's strong history of collegial life as a foundation for creating a heightened awareness of how to live and learn in a sustainable manner.

Mecanoo has been selected to lead the design of "Uniek," an ambitious project to renovate Utrecht University’s landmarked Van Unnik building. The transformation aims to revitalise the tallest building on the university’s campus, converting it into a modern, sustainable hub for learning, activity-based work, research, and social interaction.
