Our office is open between 10am and 5pm. Next to the glass door on the right there is a doorbell intercom which connects to our foyer.

Before 6pm one of the two doors are open. One can be opened outwards. They are heavy doors so they cannot always be opened by someone independently. Please let us know if you would like us to open both doors before your arrival.
