Over 1,000 employees will occupy three floors designed to integrate and inspire. Dream Space Warsaw, covering an area of 7,200 square meters, will house employees from two existing Warsaw offices of ING Hubs Poland, a company within the ING Group that supports global operational, technological, financial crime prevention, and risk management processes. JLL was responsible for the strategy, location selection, organizational needs assessment, proposing solutions tailored to its specifics, and technical advisory.
Over the past six years, the Warsaw team of ING Hubs Poland has grown significantly – from several dozen employees in 2019 to over 1,000 specialists this year. The company's new headquarters, designed according to the latest workplace organization trends, provides employees with optimal conditions for task execution, relationship building, and development.
Strength (and comfort) in unity
ING Hubs Poland employees have access to amenities such as a patio, Gravity Point – an open, multifunctional space of over 1,000 square meters, as well as rooms for daily work, relaxation, and quiet zones.
– „Our new office is a place that combines functionality and comfort, inspires with modern design featuring elements referencing the location's history, enriched with works from the ING Polish Art Foundation collection, and encourages spending time with colleagues. We want our teams to feel good here and use it willingly. We designed it to meet various needs. We have places where teams can sit together on comfortable furniture, spend time in quiet – focusing, collaborate at a large table, sit at a desk in an open space, or in a training room. We also have spaces for individual work, both small rooms and so-called phone booths. There's also a special room for working with a child, in case of the need to come to the office with a little one, or a space where employees can engage in meditation or religious practices. The spaces are adapted to different needs, all equipped with the highest quality devices. That's why we proudly call our offices 'Dream Space' because that's exactly what they are.” – says Magdalena Domagała, Real Estate and Project Manager of Dream Space Warsaw.
The selection of The FORM as the new headquarters for ING Hubs Poland was recommended by JLL experts. Completed at the end of 2024, this office building stands out with its unique approach to architecture, functionality, and sustainable development, combining innovative technological solutions with user comfort and open space conducive to integration.
One of the key objectives of the project was to bring together teams from two Warsaw locations of ING Hubs Poland. The new space was meant to not only meet the highest standards of functionality but also fully integrate the diverse community of the company's employees. The inspiration for its shape was the ING headquarters in Amsterdam. The FORM stands out with its excellent location in the business heart of Warsaw, boutique character, modern design, and innovative technological solutions, which is why, after a detailed understanding of the company's needs, we recommended its selection as the new headquarters. Aspects related to sustainable development, including the use of renewable energy and the implementation of ecological solutions supporting carbon footprint minimization, also played a special role in this process.
As part of the work on the office project, JLL experts, together with ING, thoroughly examined the organization's needs and previous experiences.
Based on detailed analysis, we designed solutions tailored to the unique needs of the organization. A significant element of this concept is the 'Gravity Point' - an innovative, open space conducive to collaboration. The ING Hubs Dream Space Warsaw project focuses on the work comfort of its users, including the implementation of advanced acoustic optimization systems in the work area, and meeting places strategically distributed throughout the office space. We created dedicated areas supporting knowledge exchange, concentration, and creativity. Moreover, internal staircases not only encourage movement and promote interactions between employees but also contribute to the sustainable use of the building's infrastructure.
21st-century design with respect for history
The FORM is an example of a forward-thinking approach to office building design, combining modern aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility.
When choosing the right location, it was crucial for ING Hubs Poland that the facility would allow for the creation of a fully innovative office space, consistent with the company's ESG strategy. The FORM perfectly responds to this need - the building uses 100% renewable energy and offers water-saving and energy consumption optimization systems. Its architecture provides access to abundant natural light, and the surroundings will soon be enriched with green spaces and an urban park.
The FORM's location in the center of Warsaw provides convenient access to public transportation (including the metro), as well as restaurants, cafes, and service points.
The building was arised on the site of the former Polish Word House, one of the most important printing centers in post-war Poland. While the new investment has completely changed the character of this place, it has preserved the spirit of creativity and exchange of ideas. The FORM clearly references the past – both in its architecture and in the concept of space.
