The Ajax Experience

Commissioned by the 100 year-old Ajax Amsterdam football club, Sid Lee Architecture in collaboration with gsmprjct° created a truly immersive fan experience for the legendary team.

Walking into the museum you go through the hall of “Giants” visualizing the important club members and glorious moments.  Through the hall you travel into The Ajax Academy filled with multimedia rooms and interactive training areas.  Once you have practiced your technique and speed hear an inspiring speech from the club’s coach and head into the stadium to hear the roar of the crowd.

Video Walkthrough & Experience

Apparently I’m a fan of Sid Lee’s work since this is the third time I have posted one of their projects.  They certainly deserve the recognition.  Also see Bota Bota and Redbull Amsterdam HQ.

Redbull Amsterdam HQ

Filled with wall-to-wall polygons, Sid Lee Architecture transformed the old shipbuilding factory into a new and creative headquarters for Redbull Amsterdam.  Using a juxtaposition of ideas—light vs dark, arts vs industry—the new headquarters is a perfect fit for the Redbull brand and location.
