With a green oasis at centre stage, the design embodies the way we look at future offices: where we work is where we meet each other, learn from each other and have fun together. Building relationships that endure. ​The routing through the office naturally circles around the podium, an oasis of green, light and colour. It fluidly connects the entire workspace. ​

Many of the people working at the Rabobank Customer Service Centre which is located in the city centre of Rotterdam, are young professionals. Rabobank wanted an office that allows them to optimally break out, a counterbalance to the work hours at their desks. Sound absorbing space dividers and the occasional custom seating objects with integrated lighting, provide the repetitive series of workstations with variations by interrupting sight lines. The open ceiling concept leaves the installations in sight which resonates in the images of the Rotterdam Harbour, portraiyed on the wall.

The design was delivered in September 2019 and only gains on relevance today, with features that will define future office design. There are several tiny living rooms for video conferencing and lots meeting facilities for the people to get to know the company ánd eachother. ​
