meeting among the green
A bright space with lots of greenery, the Garden Room, has been created on the spot where the local bank used to be located in the main office. It forms the transition area between the central hall and the building's courtyard garden.
In this park-like space, various forms of meeting can take place. Whether you want to catch up over the weekend with a colleague, have a consultation in small company, or a meeting in a larger group; with the variety of open and private seating areas and the presence of three meeting rooms, it is all possible.
local and natural materials
Dutch nature with its flora and fauna has been brought indoors through the use of many green and natural materials, for example through a reed wall with reeds from the Weerribben, wool room dividers and the representation of common birds and insects in the Netherlands as foil on the glass walls. These natural materials were also chosen from the point of view of sustainability. Furthermore, from this point of view, a lot of old furniture from Rabobank was also used and modular furniture.
All sustainable choices are reflected in the space on the sustainability signs The Rabobank Sustainable Stories. These are leaf-shaped signs with QR codes that refer to the materials passport and the story of the product. This leaf shape is based on Rabobank's sustainable and green illustrations.
