Design for the future

The new headquarters span 1,200m² across seven floors of a former hospital building, which has been transformed into a modern workspace.

 

Design Philosophy

A key strategic decision was to design a functional office space that integrates modern work methods with the company’s specific needs while anticipating post-pandemic workplace transformations. Each floor was designed to function independently, both in terms of energy and organization. By analyzing the company’s organizational structure, an optimal department layout was developed to minimize unnecessary movement.

 

 

Functional Layout

Each floor features dedicated spaces for relaxation, meetings, and work, with offices designed around a hot-desking system. At the entrance of every floor, an open, monochromatic coffee corner provides a welcoming touch. On the top floor, the existing café was renovated and transformed into a dining area with an outdoor BBQ, encouraging social interaction in a relaxed setting while keeping workspaces free from dining activities. The second key strategic decision was to establish a bold, cohesive architectural identity that unifies the entire building and reinforces the company’s corporate character.

 

 

Material Palette & Furniture

The concrete roof was exposed by removing the old, suspended ceiling, while the existing technical installations were remodeled, modernized, and painted in a warm red hue. To complement this, the flooring was designed to define different spaces and guide the flow of movement. The company’s existing equipment was carefully inventoried, assessed, and repurposed wherever possible. All available furniture was primarily integrated into the IT area, creating a dynamic mix-and-match aesthetic that aligns with the needs of its users.
