welcoming entrance hall
The transition between inside and outside has been softened by slightly receding the façade and introducing an overhang. The daylight, use of wood and terrazzo and the many plants provide a warm welcome and define the atmosphere deeper inside the building, where communal functions such as consultation areas and pantries for coffee are clustered along the central axis. Starting from the entrance area, the building is clearly zoned along that axis into public, semi-public and staff areas. The prominently visible, inviting counters in the spacious entrance hall encourage personal contact. The semi-public part contains consulting rooms adjacent to the axis. At the very end is the staff restaurant.
