Welcome
To Atelier V
‘Grownup’ taste maker with a
‘Start-up’ curiosity and drive.
ATELIER V, a trendsetting firm in energy balancing of learn/work environments. Transforming the way of looking at accommodation from being an operational headache into a strategic opportunity to add value.
Being one step ahead, reducing occupancy costs whilst providing accommodation solutions that resonate with the organization’s strategy.
- Accommodation for a more productive and sustainable primary process in a socially responsible context.
- Accommodation that cultivate belonging, purpose, meaning and inspires people.
- Accommodation as a catalyst and leverage for processes in the building.
- Accommodation that is both efficient and effective.
- Accommodation at a lower cost .
- Accommodation as a strategic opportunity instead of operational headache.
- Accommodation that sparks connection and community needed for collaboration, serendipitous idea generation, innovation, and social cohesiveness.
The environment is a catalyst for people’s performance and therefore has a strategic impact.
The environment influences how you think and feel. The human mind and body, inner environment, are not separate and distinct from their outer environment. The interaction and synergy between people and the physical, digital and social learn/work environment forms the red thread in Real Estate and Facility Management.
Creating harmony by addressing both sides of the equation.
What can we help you with?
Use the environment differently, more intelligently. In a straight forward manner to enable and facilitate delivery of key business outcomes.
The physical environment (Real Estate & Facility Management), is one of the critical secondary business processes. It requires integration and consistency with other business processes such as ICT, Human resources, Finance and the associated systems. So that in addition to support of the primary process, the internal information and external accountability are in order.
The work performance of employees and the learning behavior of students largely reflects the characteristics of the environment in which they are to work/study.
A learn/work environment strategy is, by definition, a derivative of the organization policy. Review of workplace performance should therefore understand how strategic policy goals are facilitated. The physical, digital and social environments are inextricably linked and influence each other structurally and directly. The quote of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart “The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.”, gives even a deeper meaning.
We help you improve your learn/work environment by sharing our knowledge and insights. We innovate by doing.
Innovation is essential for organizations to position themselves to maintain or create in rapidly changing market conditions. From the organization‘s objectives and latest workplace trends, ATELIER V develops and implements, as a business consultant architect, strategies for the use of the learn/work environment. Our passion is to find the balance of reason and emotion, of mind and heart, tangible and intangible. Ever seen from the standpoint of the users of the environment, people.
Creating a learn/work environment is both a logical and emotional one. The rule of balancing the logical mind with the emotional heart. The left brain logic with the right brain desire.
The balance between the axis Effectiveness versus Efficiency and the axis Evidence versus Engagement. These four E’s form an interdependent energy system, all capable of being regulated in order to maintain homeostasis in the learn/work environment eco-system. Energy is generally defined as the ability to produce an effect. So that includes emotions, thoughts and spirituality.
The 'E' of real estate
– Places that work instead of workplaces –
An integrated learn/work environment ecosystem.
A learn/work environment is more than a collection of ‘workplaces’. It is all about ‘places that work’; inspiring environments that generate energy, where people meet, collaborate and exchange knowledge and information. The environment is a catalyst for people’s performance and therefore has a strategic impact. The ‘E’ of real estate is an integrated learn/work environment ecosystem to add value since this is the key to any success.
“If you change the environment, you change the people.”
(R. Buckminster Fuller)
An adequate learn/work environment has two sides. One side is about achieving an optimum between educational effectiveness and cost efficiency. How close is the performance of the learn/work environment to the requirements of education, versus how much money is available to achieve this result and when and for how long should the result be delivered?
The other side concerns the tension between (risk) manageability (being in control) and engagement (satisfaction with the learn/work environment) of the users. What level of control is needed, what can go wrong? How can it be prevented or mitigated to ensure the desired satisfaction and involvement of users? The two sides are perpendicular axises.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts. Learn/work environment is an enabler, not just a cost centre. The environment impacts the human psyche.
“An holistic approach of the physical, digital and social work environment is a ‘power house’, you can literally transform your business with an integrated learn/work environment.” (René Stevens)
Understanding the complex interrelationship in the eco-system of the learn/work environment supports better decision making.
MEETS THE LEARN/WORK ENVIRONMENT?
‘Is the learn/work environment adding value?’
To answer this question, four sub questions must be addressed.
ENGAGEMENT
How does the learn/work environment affect me?
The way an organization is accommodated tells a lot about it, just like clothing tells something about the person who wears it. The learn/work environment is therefore much more than a functional shelter. It makes tangible what an organization stands for. Read more>>>
EFFECTIVENESS
Can I work and study here effectively — are we doing the right things?
Optimizing the effectiveness of the educational process is primarily based on an educational vision and the way in which it is structured in a didactic and organizational manner. Secondly, the educational process is supported by the quality of the learn/work environment in which this process takes place. Read more>>>
EFFICIENCY
Is the learn/work environment used efficiently — do we do things in the right way?
Adding value by using the environment can be achieved at different levels of ambition. Ranging from a purely technical and financial approach to a level where the learn/work environment is regarded as a strategic asset for the primary process. Read more>>>
EVIDENCE
Is the learn/work environment manageable and in control?
Does the environment meet the demand and expectations now and in the near future? Is it adaptive to changing user needs? Building owners and users have a responsibility for a safe, environmentally responsible and energy-efficient building. Read more>>>
And more!
Are you an end user in the role of tenant or owner-user, below you find a selection of our service with which we can unburden you. As a strategic consultant or as an interim manager.
We turn learn/work environment into a business asset in which not only Finance and Operations, the task side, play a role, but also Sales & Marketing and Human Resources, the human side. Both sides are integrally involved in our advice.
An analytical and logical left-brain approach should be balanced with an integrated intuitive right-brain approach.
Analytical thinking allows us to comprehend the parts of the learn/work environment while integrated thinking enables us to understand how they work together.
A management team that is aware of the strategic opportunities of a harmonized environment, together with the help of interdisciplinary specialists, can create the difference in unlocking and unleashing human potential.

Partnership
A multi-disciplinary approach is at the heart of what we do. It enables us to take a holistic view when developing any opportunity. It allows us to challenge and re-frame each problem we address.
Our passion is to develop and implement strategies for the learn/work environment based on organizational objectives and environmental trends. A learn/work environment where people and organizations can ‘recharge’ themselves to create value together. A living environment that gives you energy as a person (and organization) and that is also energy neutral in use.
We cannot do this alone and that is why we strongly believe in partnerships. We are part of a tribe of collaborating interdisciplinary specialist agencies and independent professionals. Connected from the vision of involving the users as much as possible in their learn/work environment.
Do our values appeal to you and do you want to become a partner? Please contact us.
