THE HEADQUARTERS · CROESELAAN 18 · UTRECHT

Two glass towers, a covered street and a park-like café

Kraaijvanger designed the 76,000 m² extension as one campus: a covered pedestrian street runs the length of the site and links the new towers with the existing buildings. Inside the towers, floors are grouped into sections with an 'identity floor', small pantries, 'communication stairs' and voids four or five floors high for daylight. In 2024 OIII architecten turned the ground floor into a park-like Central Square: the Rabo Café under a light installation by Grietje Schepers, and a Garden Room with a reed wall, wool dividers and reused Rabobank furniture.
