Arope HQ

To keep Arope Insurance close to its parent company, this project converts what had been retail space inside the Blom Bank headquarters into new offices for Arope's own headquarters, a straightforward brief with a more interesting spatial result. Set on the ground and first floors around the building's internal patio, the offices are arranged to open directly onto that courtyard, pulling the urban landscape inside and giving employees the sense of working outdoors even from within a fully enclosed office floor. Glazed curtain walls carry that connection through every space, linking each floor visually to the courtyard below and the street beyond it. The result is an interior that doesn't read as a conversion at all: office space that feels genuinely connected to the life of the building around it, rather than simply inserted into a leftover retail shell.
