empty spaces and a connecting wooden

In the work zones, empty spaces and a connecting wooden staircase provide a visual and physical connection between the different departments. On the fifth floor, there is an attractive work café with a view of the city of Utrecht. Here, there are various spaces for employees to eat and to work, and there are also large presentation rooms.

Open, transparent, inviting, and contemporary are the key terms for the mood and look. The use of light colours for floor and ceiling and warm wood types for the staircases and meeting places has created a balanced palette which strengthens the identity of Rabobank Utrecht.
