The headquarters and service centre of Abu Dhabi Finance is located on the 14th floor of the ADCB building on the corner of Al Salam Street and Electra Street in Abu Dhabi.
The company moved into the office in the spring of 2008, ahead of its official launch in November 2008.
CEO Philip Ward and other founding members worked with Hamilton International and H2O on the design.
"The head office and service centre have been designed with Abu Dhabi Finance's ethos of innovation, customer care and outstanding service in mind," says Philip. "The brand identity is calm and sophisticated with hints of traditional Arabic and modern international designs."
For clients, there is a waiting area, confidential meeting rooms and a play area for children. The service centre uses brand colours and creative interior design to create a distinctive, comfortable and professional environment. It occupies a floor of one of Abu Dhabi's most architecturally distinguished new buildings.
Abu Dhabi Finance has more than 100 staff members based in the office.
There is a foosball table in the breakout room for staff members.
Adjacent to the client meeting rooms, there is a children's play area with toys, movies and a PlayStation.
The plan was to maximise natural daylight and make optimum use of the open spaces to encourage discussion and teamwork.
