Pensum
Combining the complete renovation of a listed villa with the construction of a contemporary office environment is one thing. The other is building identity and identification for a young, up-and-coming company. The latter concerns the recognizability and uniqueness of the spatial environment.
The development of a spatial language that transports the company and its values and makes them understandable. The existing building structure serves as a platform and boundary. Again and again the interior design seeks a confrontation with the existing building. The duality of protected building structure and new, clear lines can be felt everywhere.
While old materials and the renovated facade make trust and the glamor of bygone days tangible, the color and graphic concept contrasts this idyll with the focus on making the company and its content tangible. This identity is supported by the perception-oriented lighting design, which runs through the entire building mostly in dialogue with the color and typography of the wall areas. The rooms change dynamically and indirectly in the light, depending on the mood or functional requirements.
Ultimately, more than just a new work environment emerged, but rather a place with an identity that promotes work and communication.
