How to keep your cool

Welcome to ‘How to keep your cool during a heatwave 101.’ Step one: grab your (Spaces) bike and feel that wind breeze on your face while cycling to the office. It will help you keep your cool, on the way. Step two: score yourself an iced coffee when you’re entering the building. One sip, and it will immediately cool you down. Step 3: fill up your water bottle with ice cold water from the lemonade tap. And last but not least: it’s all about choosing the right spot. Don’t sit to close to the window or under the atrium (if there is one) ­­– you don’t want the sun on your face. Pick your spot wisely and sit back and relax. Enjoy the nicely airconditioned room. And of course, this goes without saying, go for ice cream during breaks. That’s what summer is for.

Your winter office gear

Does this title speak to you? Well, hello winter. Let’s put on those snow boots and conquer the crazy weather. Because once you’re in, you’re always glad you went. And don’t worry, we’ll get you warm. Go to the coffee bar and warm up to a hot chocolate or a fresh mint tea. Still feeling a bit chilly?

Let’s beat the rain

Of course, you’ll know what to do when it’s pouring rain and you’re about to leave for work. Wear a raincoat and bring an umbrella – what else is new? But sometimes Mother Earth surprises you. And, well, no one likes to sit in wet clothes all day. So, if you’re out of luck and it’s pouring rain on your way to work, it’s time to drive up that body temperature once you get there. If you’re in the Netherlands, let’s kickstart your day with a spontaneous jam-session in the Music Room. Go drive up that body temp and get those creative juices flowing. The only question left, is: who’s going to be in your band?
