Pulse: the toilet groups get their finish

MDW Tegelwerken has started retiling the toilet groups at Pulse. New finish, modern look, the kind of detail that shapes how a building actually feels.

The next step in the transformation is underway. MDW Tegelwerken has started on the toilet groups: new tile, cut and set by hand, replacing what was there when the building still looked like an office from another decade.

It is not the part of a renovation anyone photographs for a brochure. But it is the part people actually notice. A new lobby gets you in the door. A toilet that still looks and feels old tells you the rest of the building was never really finished either.

The secondary spaces get the same attention

New tile finish. A more modern look. Work done properly, not rushed. These are the secondary spaces of the building, and they get the same level of attention as anything else, because these details are what shape how a building actually feels to the people using it every day.

What's next

Step by step, Pulse keeps moving toward the finish it needs to compete as a modern office building: 4,250 sqm across six floors, with 109 parking spaces on site. Further updates as the work continues.
