Oskomera obtained the order for realizing a futuristic walkway for Rabobank Nederland. The new walkway is part of the new head office in Utrecht (The Netherlands).

The shape of the connection passage is oval and connects the Auditorium to the other buildings. The design of the construction is realized by Kraaijvanger Urbis Architecten. The skin exists of stained and polished stainless steel lozenge-shaped windows. Specified: Rimex RVS AISI 316 stainless steel, type Colourtex Black Pattern Prism with a thickness of 1 mm.
