Project Description:
General renovation of an office building (protected monument dating from the 1960s)
Size of building: 19 storeys à 818 m² total office space, total: 15,542 m², ground floor area: 47.30 x 17.30 m
Compact Office Implementation:
The spacious open levels allow individual structuring of the office levels. All the common office layouts can be implemented. Regardless of whether they are arranged in cells, groups, combinations or as open-spaces - all office forms can be ideally implemented on account of the given room depth of 17 metres.
The respective furnishings receive technical support from a modern building guide system which is automatically controlled by means of BUS technology. A media channel running round the facade accommodates the heating and ventilation pipes, the electrical installations and the data cables.
Exemplary model in the Office Tower
Here, together with furniture systems by Bene, one can see at a glance the principles of New Work put into practice: flexibility and transparency.
Well-thought-out storage space furniture, attractive desks and flexible conference systems provide both free space and continuous links. In doing so they demonstrate par excellence the principles of Compact Office.
The structure of the storey in the office tower is largely based on the R1 / R2 spatial arrangement system. The furniture in the classic zones of the BACK OFFICE included B2 desks which are either mobile, oriented to the wall or in blocks, or stationary with clustered solutions in the middle of the room. Mobile lift tables, with adjustable heights, supplement the workspace or serve for short meetings sitting or standing.
The storage space is either mobile, as AL roll-front cabinets or AL drawer containers, or alternatively as folding cabinets hung fixed in the variously organisable R3 adjustable wall or R2 office wall.
The management offices are designed with A1 and B2 table programmes in combination with attractive assistance and storage space furniture from the AL group. Eye-catching is the generous use of verneer in the management area, which raises the optical value of this zone and provides the appropriate framework.
In the open middle zone is located reception, ‘Touch Down’, ‘Coffice’ and maintenance, as well as the areas for SUPPORT TOOLS, such as the post office and the technical island. With the transparent cubicle a further spatial arrangement system is displayed.
