The K-Retailers’ Association office space offers workplaces for 17 people, with meeting, retreat and support facilities and a large representative meeting room for the Board.

Special attention was put to the foyer. It required to serve the everyday office life of the staff and at the same time as an inviting gathering space for large groups of invited guests. A special wardrobe was created, where either the guest hanger or a staff hanger are accessible. 

A work of art communicating the identity of the K-retailers' Association was placed in the lobby, which was updated with new lighting and the coloring of the background wall.

The offices café with a separate retreat space opens into the bright atrium of the building. In the living room-style café, additionally it is also possible to use the larger meeting spaces kitchenetts when no meetings are scheduled. 

The spacious workspace has the building-specific retreat areas separated by staff lockers and storage space from the actual workstations. The outer wall area has an open layout and is furnished with a few armchairs and sofas and lush greenery thrives by the large windows.
