Rabo Lounge

Bar and Event Space

Rabobank HQ, UtrechtThe ‘Rabo Lounge’ is part of a large transformation project covering all hospitality zones within the central area of the Rabobank Headquarters in Utrecht.

For this assignment with a significant sustainability challenge we designed a broad range of spaces creating a careful mix of re-used and new elements.

Each area with it’s own identity but reflecting the Rabobank core values.

This bar and event space is located behind the iconic blue ‘China Cabinet’ a large art installation that separates the bright open food court from the more intimate areas in the back.

A warm and cosy setting for contemplation, catching up with a colleague or to celebrate a festive moment at the end of the working day.
