Design & Build for the new headquarters of Norah

BESPARK designed and realized the new headquarters of Norah in Alkmaar: a workplace, showroom, design studio, and warehouse in one. Each part received its own signature, with a playful, warm, and brand-aligned interior that immediately evokes the feeling of Norah’s stores.

A multifunctional brand hub, where every zone reflects the essence of the Norah brand: playful, personal, and functional.

Norah, the fast-growing women’s fashion brand with more than 90 stores and 700 employees, moved to a new location in Alkmaar. BESPARK designed and realized a 2,400 m² concept with office spaces, a shop-in-office, design and photo studios, and storage.

Playful, soft, and warm design

The interior is warm and inviting thanks to soft materials such as felt and a soothing color palette of dusty pink and sea green. Upon entering, you immediately experience the Norah retail atmosphere: a shop-in-office where customers, suppliers, and employees can “feel” the brand just like in the physical stores. With a special coating design, the pattern of the walls flows seamlessly into the floor. Pleasant, coherent, and visually surprising.

Not only BESPARK, but Norah as well looks back on this project with great satisfaction. The result is an environment that translates the brand into an office where people work, create, and experience. A successful project in which brand, function, and atmosphere come together.

Softer, more playful, and truly Norah: you immediately feel what the brand stands for as soon as you step inside.
