Guerrilla is one of Europe's leading game development companies and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe. The company was founded in 2000 and since then has been pushing the boundaries of technical and artistic excellence in our games. Today, Guerrilla employs more than 350 professionals from 25 different nationalities. The new office is located in the cultural and historic center of Amsterdam, the Netherlands - a great place to work and relax. Powerplant designed and developed a hospitality concept to help Guerrilla connect and collaborate in a new environment created by CBRE's design team. More than ever, we wanted our hospitality solutions to support Guerrilla's unique culture and foster an inclusive and open attitude.
Guerrillas' previous office was an open plan largely concentrated on one floor, allowing employees to easily connect with each other. The new office is spread over multiple floors, which challenged us to create hospitality spaces to increase vertical connection through the different levels. With cleverly designed pantries at the intersections of traffic, we created hospitality hotspots to facilitate conversation and serendipity. The pantries offer coffee makers and growing herbs for fresh tea and lemonades - fueling different break needs.
For the restaurant on the top floor, we challenged every convention of what a restaurant can offer. A company restaurant by itself, as a single function, is already a rather inefficient use of office space. We designed a layout that creates a dynamic kitchen and service area, where each counter is programmed throughout the day according to different needs. What is a nice bar to have a cup of coffee in the morning becomes a salad bar for lunch and a bustling drinks spot in the evening. CBRE designed a seating area that is not only the best place to eat lunch, but also the best place to meet and play.
Join Program is a forward-thinking hospitality and catering model that offers a healthy and progressive food program. The food program developed for Guerrilla exists in a responsible relationship with the season and environment, allowing us to create a menu that is delicious and energizing while meeting the specific needs of Guerrilla employees.
