A Day Away from the office in Amsterdam

At the office, it’s hard to concentrate with distracting phones and emails waiting to be answered. That’s why anyone organizing a day away needs a quiet venue. De Nieuwe Ruimte offers a 180 m² space with an entrance through a beautiful garden, which can be used during breaks or as a breakout space. The calm and openness help you focus completely on the goals of the day.

A Day Away from the office activities

We arrange the room entirely to your wishes, so you’re a day away is set up the way it optimizes your wishes. The openness, the atmosphere, the art and the designed details all contribute to a gathering that surprises. As a day away idea, we offer a garden at your disposal free of charge. You’re also close to the Waterlooplein market and you can take a pleasant walk through the lovely Nieuwmarkt neighborhood.

Different layouts for A Day Away from the office
