Our „C+P Werkstatt“ office building conveys the principles of our conception for working and architecture. It is compact, open and flexibly connected. L-shaped working levels, arranged around a large central atrium and are offset against each other on the mezzanine floor, enable a variety of visual contact opportunities between the colleagues.
The individual levels can be reached from the ground floor by two diagonally arranged staircases and via the wide, flat step facilities on the respective half-floors. 150 workstations have been set up on three split levels, which are arranged in groups of four and six. The standardized design and furnishings of the workstations mean that employees are not tied to a specific location. This therefore enables project teams to be formed variably at any particular time, which then creates the possibility for working in flexible group sizes.
We have paid particular attention to how the workstations are designed. Equally important, however, are the areas where the project teams can come together. We therefore view our new office building as an experimental field for future-oriented working environments.
