Twisted Design & Deliver Uber’s New Technological EMEA Headquarters

Over the past decade, Twisted’s collaboration with Uber has evolved and strengthened. Initially, brought on to provide support on smart-hands and active IT projects across EMEA, Twisted now provides multiple services to this trailblazing company, including design, concept development and deployment, working closely with Uber’s Global Build Team.

So, when in 2020, Uber wanted to create an exciting new EMEA Headquarters in Amsterdam, Twisted were to play a pivotal role in its realisation. Uber’s primary objective was to create a cutting-edge hub for its EMEA operations, bringing together disparate teams from across the city into a single location. The facility would offer a diverse range of workspaces tailored to different work styles, all with technology at the core. The design was to deliver the “wow” factor and ensure that visitors left with a memorable first impression.

The Challenge

Vonage was looking for a solution which would save them money.

As a global company, they wanted to reduce the need for staff to travel. The wanted a solution which would enable them to communicate effectively at just the click of a button, to enhance and create more collaborative spaces, and an area to design and test new systems. All systems need to talk to one another and work in unison.

The Solution

TwistedPair, as experts in the art of connecting workplaces, accepted the challenge from Vonage to create for them a collaborative, multi-functional space, which was easy for their staff to use.

As independent integrators, our focus is on meeting the clients vision first and foremost, and not on the use of specific products and brands, we are free to choose our products based on how they work together and fit to the clients brief and requirements and this allows us the flexibility to tailor each project bespoke to the client.

The Outcome

Over the period of 12 months, the Twisted team deployed and delivered the entire project creating a brand new technological hub for Uber.

The headquarters are spilt over two buildings, incorporating old and new into this modernised workplace design. The headquarters are split over 11 floors with 3.5km Fibre Optic Cable and 6km of copper cable was installed to provide the backbone for their network connectivity.

The summit space is made of 3 divisible rooms with a large Samsung LED wall in each space. Opened out, it creates this visual wall for individuals to enjoy. There are Renkus-Heinz speakers, a Barco video wall processor, Logitech and Panasonic cameras, Shure and Biamp microphones and Zeevee for AVOIP.

Each of the meeting rooms was fitted with LG screens, Neat bars and DTEN, with the larger meeting rooms containing a large DTEN with Biamp, a Neat pad for control and a Logitech Tap for making room bookings.
