Entry DescriptionDynamic working requires dialogue and encounters – rooms that enable flexibility as well as intermediate spaces. Understanding the office as a space of potential and designing these exciting interfaces is important to us.
The new campus at the company’s headquarters in Hamburg demonstrates what distinguishes this identity-forming workplace of the future: Firmly anchored in the corporate purpose ‘Care Beyond Skin’, the focus is on the well-being of each individual, so they can develop their full potential in interdisciplinary teams.
A diverse range of room and lighting configurations and formats supports this realignment with agile work practices. In the reception area, the space opens up generously via a sculptural light installation. The Working Café lives from its intimate lighting atmosphere, just as you would expect in a restaurant. The Communication Hub and the co-working areas have an open and transparent lighting design. Retreats, on the other hand, thrive on their warm and cozy lighting atmosphere.
Sustainability ApproachAll open room situations such as the Communication Hub and the co-working areas are divided into sections and are gently faded in and out using motion detectors combined with timers. In all closed room types, such as the various meeting rooms and the boardroom, different lighting scenarios from transparent to intimate can be called up via a lighting control panel. The workstations for around 4,000 employees are equipped with free-standing luminaires. The free-standing luminaires have daylight and motion sensors and communicate with each other via a swarm control system. Only LED luminaires are used in the project. The entire project is LEED Gold certified.
Company DescriptionWe want to show that light is not a functional necessity. Instead, we want to show what quality and creative power the medium of light makes possible.
